Family and feeling loved

Stories about family for children: a new baby, brothers and sisters, grandparents and traditions, separation anxiety and feeling loved.

Family is the first world a child knows, and it keeps changing shape. A new baby arrives and suddenly a toddler is a big brother or sister.

Brothers and sisters squabble, compete for attention and then curl up together on the sofa. Grandparents bring stories from long ago, and holidays bring traditions a child remembers for years.

At the heart of it all is a question many children ask in many ways: am I still loved when we are apart, or when I get it wrong? A story can answer it warmly, as often as your child needs to hear it. It can show that love stays when a parent goes to work, that there is room for everyone when the family grows, and that the people your child comes from are part of who they are.

On this shelf you will find stories about family time and traditions, grandparents and family roots, welcoming a new baby, life with brothers and sisters, and feeling loved and secure while apart from a parent.
