Five Star review of books for stepchildren

More than a story book. Chelsea;s Tree is an activity book and photo album wrapped in one.

More than a story book. Chelsea;s Tree is an activity book and photo album wrapped in one.

Chelsea’s Tree is a lovely and charming resource for parents, grandparents and other members of blended families. Children love to take an “action-oriented” approach to discussing their experiences and this is the perfect tool for that purpose. Also, as a retired marriage and family therapist, I think this little book would be very helpful in a theraputic situation to allow children to explore their feelings in a positive, non-judgmental context. The sticker feature that allows a child to build his or her own blended family tree is a fun activity for the whole family, adults and children alike.
