Goodnight Just the Same April Claxton

The time has come for this book to be written. There are families across the globe that no longer fit the ?normal? stereotype of what a family is. This book teaches us that every family structure is ?normal.? We have step-mommies and step-daddies. We have no mommies and no daddies. We also have two mommies and two daddies. Some of us only have one mommy, daddy or grandparent to raise us. No matter what the structure of your family is, it is important to know that a family is a family as long as it comes from love. It is about the feelings we feel when we go to sleep so that we have better feelings when we awake. To the moon every family is tucked in Just The Same. What people are saying: ?It will help any child of any age go to bed and wake up feeling like they?re loved.? -Melody Beattie, journalist, screenwriter and author of Codependent No More and The Language of Letting Go and founder of www.melodybeattie.com and www.melodybeattie.net ?People will assume that this sweet, reassuring bedtime story is meant for children growing up in non-traditional families. And it is. But truly, it?s everyone else that should be reading it.? -Linda J. States Marketing Director, TV Guide Network ?Goodnight Just the Same will promote healthy self-esteem and ease adjustment issues encouraging the positive attributes of all family systems however diverse they may appear. A must for educators, counselors, social workers, and therapists that work with young children and families.? -April L. Kirkwood, M. Ed. Educator, Social Worker and author of Magic on Millicent Avenue ?This book is for families who believe in families. A delightful bedtime story that celebrates the unique constellations that make up every family situation.? -Kaylee Murphy, LICSW www.savvydivorcedgals.com
