Lonely Planet are all about inspiring and empowering people to get out there and explore the world, no matter who you are or where you’re from. But recently they realised that they had been unintentionally leaving a very important group of travellers out of the picture: kids.

Not For Parents opens up the world to a whole new generation of adventurers – with intriguing stories and fascinating facts about people, places, history and culture from around the world. From hideous histories to funky food, they cover all the cool stuff to know and are jam-packed with photos, illustrations and cartoons.
