Kid-Directed Family Vacation Planning: Using Ideas from Creative Kids Around the World

By Natalia Stanusch, Charles Wankel, Max Rush Lerner

Many kids have been taken on vacations without involvement in the process of deciding on where to go and what to do. This book is meant to help change that. Kid-directed Family Vacation Planning is not a guide book with rich detail on places but rather is a compilation of brainstorming by kids nine to eleven years old in about 60 nations sharing their ideas of places to go and things for kids to do there. The notion is to spark kid's curiosity, imagination and creativity, and to rightly make kids feel the self-confidence and appropriateness of joining and at times leading their families' vacation planning process.In these pages, you will hear 11-year-old Shasank from India tell about seeing a pack of rhinos at Kaziranga National Park. 12-year-old Lucas from the U.S. shares his experience riding a horse along an 18-mile trail with his dad. 13-year-old Min from Korea recalls her dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower and Seine River in Paris, the setting of a story she is writing. Kent from Japan gives a tip about the bird park at Kobe Animal Kingdom. These children and many more are here to provide your family a with children's perspectives on travel. The variety is impressive, and the inimitable kid's point of view invaluable. Join us in this safari through kids' well-traveled imaginations. You'll be inspired to get thinking about travel yourself and to lead your family to see wonderful places and do exciting things!
