Better than a “how to” parenting guide, this book is a “how we did it (and what we learned)” guide for domestic and international travel. Practical, positive, and realistic, the zest to see the world and open that world up to one’s child is contagious, at least it was to this reader. “Bravo!” – Carl Pickhardt, Ph.D, author of: WHO STOLE MY CHILD—parenting through four stages of adolescence.
