About this episode
Hi guys, I’ve got something very exciting to share with you today, it’s been a long time in the making, but I’m so excited to say that my brand new book ‘How To Build a Family’ is out tomorrow - I can’t quite believe it!<br><br>How to Build a Family is a nurturing handbook that I wish I’d been given when I started out my journey in a fully blended family. As well as my experiences, and those of other blended families, it has advice and tips from experts you’ve heard on the show like Julia Samuel and Lisa Doodson. My goal in writing this book is to encourage, inspire and support families everywhere.<br><br>In today’s podcast I also talk about my other new book ‘The Family Tree’ which will be coming out on the 8th of June (quite the author I know). The Family Tree is a reassuring picture-book adventure that will help blended families feel seen and celebrated, offering gentle conversation starters for the youngest readers.<br><br>I hope you find these books refreshing and useful, as always thanks for your amazing love and support, I can’t wait to hear what you think of them!You can pre-order both books by clicking on the link here: <a href="https://bio.to/KateFerdinand" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bio.to/KateFerdinand</a><br><br>If you’re excited to be a part of the Blended community, make sure to follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blended/?hl=en" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Blended</a> on Instagram.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
