LONELY PLANET KIDS
Spring 2018 Catalog
Travel was a huge part of my life growing up. My father was an Air Force pilot, so we moved constantly. No matter where we lived, my parents would take my sisters and me on wonderful adventures to explore the region and its cultures. It’s the sense of joy and discovery I experienced on those childhood expeditions that I hope we can capture in every Lonely Planet Kids book. Whether exploring the world’s most breathtaking cities or its most dangerous places, our products take children to thrilling new destinations. Fun formats, lively art, and captivating text engage young readers while introducing them to fascinating people, places, and cultures. Our goal at Lonely Planet Kids is to ignite in readers a passion for exploration that will last a lifetime. So, come on! Let’s start an adventure! Hanna Otero Publisher, Lonely Planet Kids
