A children’s books series for all types of families
10 years ago I tried to find a children’s book to help my young stepdaughter understand her life and family, and why it looks the way it does. What I found was that while there were many resources for the adults going through and living out these lifestyles, there was very little for the kids.
I decided to do something about that.
And The I HAVE Series was born.
My children’s books help kids understand diverse family dynamics. Divorced? I can help. Are you a stepparent? Part of the LGBTQ community? I have children’s books for that, too.
Coping with the death of a loved one? Looking for help explaining your child’s special needs to your other kids? Raising a blended family? These books are in the works! Join my email list to be the first to know when they are available!
My latest storybook even tackled COVID-19 to help kids around the world understand the pandemic and calm their fears. Check out this special edition here.
Kid-friendly Stories on Grown-up Topics
Kids are curious. It’s their job to ask questions about the world around them. Some of their questions can be insightful, yet challenging for adults to answer. Take the pressure off the conversation, and let the pages in these books do the talking and guide you in a healthy, comforting and loving discussion. The I HAVE Series believes every kind of Once Upon a Time deserves a Happily Ever After!

“As a a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 25 years, I can confidently say that I Have Two Homes, I Have a Stepmom and I Have a Stepdad are truly wonderful books. They are written in a way that children will understand, and exemplify the importance of learning and accepting divorce in a positive environment. ”
“I Have Two Moms is an amazing book! Great insight and beautiful way of explaining to our son why he has two moms. Brought us to tears. Thank you for this.”
