Introducing young readers to the beauty, wonder, and rich diversity of our National Parks.
For younger children!
A fun, alliterative alphabet that ambles from “An Avocet Awakes at Acadia” to “A Zebra-tailed lizard Zonks out at Zion”.
For older kids!
A thrilling outdoors adventure, exploring the majestic landscapes, amazing animals, fun science, and diverse cultural history of our National Parks.
For grown-ups!
An engaging, educational gift for kids to inspire a life-long passion for the outdoors and our parks (and you might learn a few new things, too!).
With lush colors and textured paper, National Parks A to Z looks and feels like a classic children’s book.

Gus D'Angelo first fell in love with the outdoors as a child, hiking, fishing, and snowshoeing with his three brothers on his family’s farm in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. These early adventures led to his passion for public lands and his hope that all young people get to experience the thrill, mystery, and solitude of the outdoors. Gus is an illustrator and animator who now lives in San Francisco with his partner, filmmaker Jennifer Kroot.
