How it Started
Hi, we're Kelley and Lizzy, the founders of Wander Kid Books. Our friendship started in 2016 while working together in Corporate America and living in Memphis, Tennessee. Both non-natives to the city, a bond instantly formed over love of travel, office fashion trends, and southern university pride. Little did we know, life had big things planned for our small-city friendship.
Jump to 2023, and both of us are living in Europe: Lizzy in Amsterdam with her dog, and Kelley in Paris with her husband and kids.
Through adventures together and apart, we both noticed an absence of unique, tasteful keepsakes. We both wanted something that adequately captured our new homes and places we love, to share with friends, family, and most importantly, the littles in our lives.
Because of this, Wander Kid Books was born.
