Right up there with protecting and feeding your child, I believe it is a parent's duty (and joy) to make memories for them. So it stands to reason that Christmas at our house is a bonanza of opportunity for family traditions old and new. It's great to have a guide packed with ideas and reminders to make the holidays memorable.

Meg Cox
Author of The New Book of Family Traditions, on Making Spirits Bright
This book is wonderful. It addresses our nation’s commonplace trauma of divorce in a way that is comprehensive and readable, grounded and poetic, opens doors and minds, offers guidance without preaching, and one can find understanding on every page. I recommend this book highly for the millions of people who will benefit from it.

It is one thing to know the facts about teeth, but behavior is more often than not influenced by myths and legends about teeth. This job does a terrific job of both: presenting the facts and fictions about teeth. It puts the fun into losing baby teeth.
