Flat Aidan and Flat Nadia spend some Wintertime in Iowa

Get your Flat Aidan and Flat Nadia to color here. Then, send your photograph to: flat at wright on time books dot com! By sending photos, you are giving full permission to Wright on Time Books to post any or all here on this website and all affiliated websites (including, but not limited to Facebook and Twitter). Please include the first names of the kid(s) in the photographs, their ages, and the location of where the photograph was taken! No last names will be listed. Xianne’s flat paper dolls were printed on regular paper, colored, glued to cardboard, cut out, and then popsicle sticks were attached.  Cardstock also works nicely, although you might consider laminating yours if they are going to spend much time in rain or snow. :) Of course, you can always print more.

What are the Wright on Time books all about?

The Wright on Time series of children’s chapter books are about an RV-living family who travels the USA.  Each book is set in a different state with a different fun and educational theme. Each book is a stand alone book. This means that you can pick up any book in the series and enjoy it fully without having read the books before it. Of course, if you want the details on the Wright family’s back story, you are going to want to catch up on the other books in the series. :)

The Wright family is a family of five: (1) Aidan, age 7, (2) Nadia, age 11, (3) Stephanie, the mom, (4) Harrison, the dad, and (5) Prince Pumpkin III, the family’s pet turtle.  Nadia and Aidan are homeschooled, more technically called “roadschooled” since they live on the road. Stephanie telecommutes as a computer programmer. Harrison works on the road as a freelance writer. Together, they enjoy the freedom and joys of living on the road and learning about all 50 of the United States of America.
