About the Books!

Where on Earth Am I? Fassa’s 52 Weeks of Fun! by S. Moo & Planet Fassa

Unlike any other book out there…it’s a book, activities, coloring pages, a year-long journal, a keepsake, and more – ALL IN ONE. With its unique double-sided design, it gives parents an easy way to connect with and teach their kids, all while having a blast sharing fun facts about each other (like what 3 people they’d choose to run a relay race!)

On one side, you’ll find “Where on Earth Am I?” an interactive story about Fassa, a cat who uses purrrseverance to make it out of a strange place and into the arms of a loving Person. Along with the story, this side teaches important life lessons through plot twists, easy-to-do activities, coloring pages, a hidden picture search, a fun quiz, and more! On the flipside, you’ll find “Fassa’s 52 Weeks of Fun” – an easy, silly way for children to express and share things about themselves throughout a year in their life. Along with 52 prompted journal entries, each week also features a kid-friendly quote, a word definition from “Where on Earth Am I”, and a hilarious joke your child will love to tell.
