Featured Interview With Kaitlyn Jain
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m a Michigander at heart who moved to the East Coast after college. In addition to my little ones, I have two Boston Terriers.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always loved to read and writing a book has been a lifelong dream. I started writing this story after a trip to Scandinavia with my four young kids. I know that many people are intimidated by traveling with kids, so I wanted to share our adventure to inspire others to take that trip.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I enjoy books from many genres.
I love Bill Bryson’s work. Harper Lee. Isabelle Allende. Malcolm Gladwell.
My favorites are non-fiction and historical fiction. I like books that teach me something new.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Passports and Pacifiers is a true story of my husband and me traveling with four small children… on a budget. It follows us (young, naïve, and baby-wearing) on eight memorable, affordable, and nap-centered trips. It starts with taking our Never-Sleep infant to child-loving Italy. Six years later, the tally of kids reached four (all under the age of eight) for an adventure across Scandinavia. Readers are regaled with misadventures, like losing the only pacifier of the trip, missing ferries, and traveling with a baby who refuses to nap. We find deals and save where we can.
Parents of small children receive tips on:
• Transferring sleeping babies after a hotel upgrade
• Keeping your Ever-Hungry spouse happy
• Driving with a carsick toddler
This book serves as an inspiration and guidebook to take your kids out of your comfort zone and explore.
