  • Blended family book for children–just released!

    There are plenty of picture books for children whose parents have gone through divorce.  But what about the children that come later?  These are the little “ours” children in the “yours, mine, and ours” families of modern times.  These little ones have questions of their own about where their older half-siblings go, who this other parent is, what makes a “real” parent versus a “step” parent and so on.  Where Do My Brother and Sister Go?
    is written just for them!  With simple language, and heartwarmingly beautiful illustrations of contemporary family life, this book answers questions, explores feelings, and reminds everyone in a blended or stepfamily what really matters the most.
