Belle Phillips, a 12-year-old pup, has accumulated almost 190,000 miles under her belt from RV adventures with her owners. The trio has explored Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with their travels inspiring Kenny Phillips to write a series of children's books featuring Belle as the star.
The books are based on real-life events, with real places and adventures, making them an engaging way for young readers to learn about different locations.
Phillips' original plan was to write a memoir about the family's travels across North America, but he ultimately decided to tell the story from Belle's perspective, resulting in a unique children's book series.
The series will feature 10 books, with the next installment focusing on Belle's road trip along Route 66, including visits to iconic locations like Cadillac Ranch and the Blue Whale.
Traveling with pets has been shown to have numerous benefits for their mental health and well-being, making Phillips' RV adventures a great inspiration for families looking to get outdoors together.
Parents have reported that the books are having a similar effect on their children, who are asking when they can take an RV trip of their own.
The value of travel in keeping pets mentally sharp is undeniable, as evidenced by Belle's love of sniffing new places and meeting new people during her adventures.
Phillips hopes to inspire families to hit the road sooner than he did, having only recently started more extensive RV travel with his family.
With the series, Phillips aims to share the joy of exploration and adventure with young readers, while also promoting a love of learning about different places and cultures.
