Amanda Blake Soule’s The Creative Family

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Today is the publication date of Amanda Blake Soule’s wonderful new book — The Creative Family. (Congratulations Amanda!)

Here is the praise I heaped on this truly inspiring book:

"Amanda Soule has created a wonderful guide that nourishes the wellspring of creativity already inherent in the family dynamic. She encourages discovery, ingenuity, sharing, and celebration in a way that helps each family member grow, while simultaneously bringing the whole family closer together. A truly meaningful book for and about that which we hold dearest."

More info on the book is here, and of course, I do recommend that you go buy a copy right now.
