As far as parents go, I feel like I hit the jackpot. My parents were and still are thoughtful,kind, loving and supportive. But not everyone has the luck that I have had. Sometimes fathers or mothers just aren't around. Sometimes through no fault of their own and sometimes it's just not possible for that parent to be a part of a child's life. Sometimes the single parent meets and falls in love with a new partner. If you are lucky, your new partner will love and cherish your child as much as he/she does you. The bond between a step parent and a child can be an amazing thing. But what if your child doesn't know that their mom or dad isn't their biological parent? Have you found yourself wondering how and when to tell your child? Many parents find themselves in this situation. Do I tell my child early? Or in their teens? Or as an adult? If you have decided to tell your child early, then I hope that this picture book will help you. It is full of wonderful illustrations that will encourage you to discuss this theme with your son or daughter. It is an ideal first step in explaining the love a step parent can feel for their child.
