Are you looking for a wonderful list of children’s books set in Alaska? Here are some of our favorites! Each of these children’s books is set in Alaska, and I would particularly recommend author Kirkpatrick Hill if you’re looking for a wonderful Alaskan author.
Alaska is obviously a unique state in our union for its geography, weather, and size. I had the opportunity to travel there many years ago, and it truly is unlike any other place in the U.S. for its beauty and ruggedness.
