Adventure Awaits!

With globe-trotting KeeKee as our guide, we’re helping children develop a global worldview early in life. Studies show that exposing children to other cultures through travel and education excites their natural curiosity, enhances their acceptance of diversity, and builds compassion, empathy, and open-mindedness. By nurturing these qualities, we believe these young explorers will grow to make our world a better, more inclusive place for everyone.

Growing up, Shannon’s Mom was a flight attendant, and the traveling we did as a family opened my eyes, ears, and mind to the world in a way that has inspired me my whole life.

When Shannon and Paul lived in Amsterdam with their real-life calico kitty, KeeKee, the idea for KeeKee’s Big Adventures was born! To introduce children and families to other places, cultures, languages, people, food, and more through KeeKee, the cute, relatable character in an all-animal world.

It all started with the award-winning picture book series, KeeKee’s Big Adventures. And now, there’s more to help you and your family travel, learn and explore.
