SAN FRANCISCO, June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When author AM Xavier and his wife made the decision to parent their children in a way that existed before the rise of technology, it meant their two young sons were raised in a lifestyle enhanced by art, music, reading, and nature that didn't involve screens. The boys' experiences inspired Xavier to create stories about two adorable chipmunk brothers' adventures at museums, libraries, and the great outdoors as shown in his new The Chubby Bubbies picture book series.
The Chubby Bubbies series is thoughtfully written and illustrated to encourage a desire for exploration through fostering a sense of curiosity. When asked why chipmunks for the brothers characters, Xavier responds simply, "When my boys talk to each other, they sound like chipmunks—it makes for a funny story. They scurry around the house, always underfoot, collecting things, burying random objects, and eating constantly. Watching them in their natural state, it's clear—they're wild woodland creatures, just living in my home."
The debut installment, Trip to the Museum, follows the chipmunk pair on an unforgettable trip to the museum with exhibit halls full of art and wonders around every corner, letting their imagination sweep them away to extraordinary places. Alliteration and a rhyming vignette make this tale a rollicking read-aloud. Subsequent stories involve trips to the symphony where they explore the magic of sound and music; a visit to the farmer's market that reveals the importance of food for healthy living and where it comes from; a trip to the library that shows amazing journeys readers can take with each book, traveling through history, to magical worlds, and discovering knowledge; or a visit to the park that explores the joy in physical movement and being in nature.
Families and educators of young children will delight in the opportunities these books provide in underscoring the value of wonder and imagination that is not derived from screens. For Xavier, creating that spark of imagination is what led him to write The Chubby Bubbies. "Imagination is a gift—one of the greatest gifts we have as humans. Nurturing that gift is vital if you want a life that feels full and rich." The Chubby Bubbies: Trip to the Museum is available now, followed in late September by Trip to the Symphony.
