A Meg Rooks' Collaged Suitcase

Traveling can be a little overwhelming. So we suggest easing your way into it. Start by bunking out in your basement fort, and then have a pup-tent sleep-over in backyard, and then you're off to overnight stays at your pal's down the street. Before you know it you'll be hopping on planes and jetting off to see cousins in Indiana, taking the train to see grandparents in Oregon or heading out for submarine excursions to find mermaids in the deep deep depths of the sea.

A word to the adults:

Meg Rooks is going to make you want to pack your bags and get out of town! This Maine artist transforms vintage vinyl suitcases with her fantastic children's story book illustration collages. Her work is meticulously adhered to the exterior of the cases and sealed for durability. Mind you these are vintage cases with all the patina of age, but their clasps and zippers work swell and will serve your little one well through countless sleep-overs, visits to the relatives and nights at sleep-away camp.
