Welcome to Burning Man - The World's Biggest Playground!
The first children's book about Burning Man.
The first children's book about Burning Man.
A children’s book about Burning Man?
Of course! Why should the grown-ups have all the fun? Children have been going to Burning Man since its inception on Baker Beach in San Francisco in 1986. The kids already get it. It’s the rest of us who have to remember to have fun as we walk through life. And there’s no better place to learn that than Burning Man - The World’s Biggest Playground!
I have worked with the approval of the Burning Man organization to produce a book that honestly reveals what Burning Man is in a format that will be acceptable and enlightening to children and adults alike. The book is full of colorful and engaging photographs that tell the story of what Burning Man is in a tasteful manner that nobody could find offensive, whether they are a Burner or not.
This improved second edition of the book is a beautifully bound hardcover with 56 pages of color photographs by photographer and writer Peter Armenia. The book is 8 1/2 X 8 1/2 inches square and is as durable and lovable as any book on a child's bookshelf. The perfect size for both little hands and yours!

Gifting the book
We will gift at least 10% of our books to kids and schools in need of some Burning Man love. This is a great way to bring Burning Man culture to those who may be unfamiliar with our Ten Principles ethos.
And here's what some people are saying:
“Kids have been coming to Burning Man since a few friends and I burnt the first man on Baker Beach in 1986.”
— Larry Harvey, co-founder of Burning Man
“What a fun revelation. Burning Man sounds like the ultimate Free Range playground for kids.”
— Lenore Skenazy, author/founder of Free Range Kids
“As you can see, Pigpen is right at home at Burning Man, and this book is a great introduction
for the rest of The Gang and your li’l folks as well.”
— Jeannie Schulz, wife of Charles M. Schulz
About me
My wife and I have been going to Burning Man since 2008, in fact we got married there in 2010. As a photographer who has traveled the world shooting in over 50 countries, I go to to Burning Man as a participant and a photographer. My work has been published in numerous books, magazines, and calendars including Time, Escape, Travel Holiday, Algonquin books, and Kodak Calendars.

And for the past few years we've been bringing our daughter Veronica to The World's Biggest Playground. Of course she always has a ball!
