Where the Stories Begin
At home in Spokane!
The First Adventure
What starts as “nothing to do” becomes something entirely different.
In this first story, Kid begins to notice the world around him—guided by Garbage Goat’s quiet presence and the rhythm of Spokane itself.
It’s a story about curiosity, about paying attention, and about discovering that home is never as still as it seems.
The Next Adventure
A new character. A new friendship. A new adventure. The same home.
Experiencing the same place, doesn't just connect us in a moment but across time and generations. Find wonder and awe in Spokane's nearby State Parks!
See how curiosity from family stories inspires exploration and discovery of meaningful memories.
From Stories to Place
Every story is rooted or inspired by real places—parks, paths, rivers, and neighborhoods that shape the way we experience the world around us.
Our stories are an invitation: to step outside, to look again, and to discover something new in the places you already know with those you love.
Our Story in the Real World
Weather at home or out in the community, these stories are meant to be shared, experienced, and lived. Through books, activities, and events, Garbage Goat & Kid invites families and educators to connect more deeply with the places around them.
