When Jiajia’s new swimsuit and goggles arrive just in time for her swimming competition, the cardboard box they came in suddenly says hello. Her name is Eva—and talking isn’t her only secret. Eva invites Jiajia through a glowing tunnel into a vast warehouse, where she discovers the hidden world of logistics.
Jiajia learns how warehouse computer systems keep track of stock, turn incoming orders into pick lists, and use algorithms to group orders and plan efficient routes. She sees people and robots at work while the right items are picked, checked and packed, then follows the parcel through barcode scanning, sorting, transport, tracking and home delivery. She also discovers what happens when an item is returned and how packaging can be reused or recycled.
The Parcel’s Secret Journey from Click to Delivery is a magical, research-informed narrative non-fiction picture book for ages 7–11. Clear explanations and fact boxes make unfamiliar ideas accessible, while a final ‘Your turn!’ activity invites children to draw, write or map a hidden journey of their own. Together, the story and explanations make this an engaging introduction to logistics, warehousing, order fulfilment, technology and sustainability for curious readers, families, primary classrooms and libraries.
