Nasca Lines of Peru Book

Written by New York Times best-selling author Susan Verde 

This hardcover book brings the mystery of the Nasca Lines to life. Children will encounter striking photographs of the vast desert geoglyphs and discover what a geoglyph is, how the Nasca people may have carved these enormous designs without modern tools, and the many theories about why they were created—religion, astronomy, art, or something else entirely.

The book goes beyond presenting facts. It encourages children to imagine, predict, and ask questions as they read, fostering curiosity at every turn. A world map helps them locate both Peru and their own home, sparking conversations about distance, time zones, and the possibilities of travel. Activities and word games reinforce new learning, while creative prompts inspire readers to draw, write, and form their own personal connections to the Nasca Lines.

This book pairs seamlessly with the collection and offers families a reason to step away from screens, sit together, and find joy in exploring one of the world’s most enduring mysteries.
