Flying the Nest YouTube stars announce second book

Jessica and Stephen Parry-Valentine, the couple behind the popular YouTube channel, have announced their second picture book. Learn all about it and see the announcement.

Last year, the creators of Flying the Nest published their first book, Our Home on Wheels. Based on their own adventures exploring Australia, the picture book follows Mum, Dad (Jessica and Stephen Parry-Valentine) and their daughter, Hunter, as they embark on a van-life adventure.

In the new picture book, Hunter on Holiday: A Big Trip Around Europe, readers will join Hunter on her first overseas holiday.

In an announcement posted on Instagram, the Flying the Nest creators shared details about what readers can expect from the upcoming book.

‘We've poured our hearts into chronicling our family's adventures post van-life, as we traversed the diverse landscapes of Europe. 🌍✈️ Each page is filled from our own memories and stories, from rolling down the lush hillsides of Switzerland to making pasta in the heart of Italy. 🍝🏞️

Join us through icy fjords, timeless cities, majestic mountains, and cheerful town squares . . . We are SO EXCITED for you to embark on this journey with us! 💖’
