After her debut children’s book, Family Changes: Explaining Divorce to Children Dr. Azmaira H. Maker is happily moving forward with a number of books to help open communication and understanding between parents and children. Some conversations are difficult, and figuring out where to begin doesn’t always come easy. Dr. Maker is hopeful that these stories, founded in well-established theory, research, and clinical expertise, will help families find an easier path to open communication.
Here are several of the upcoming titles from Dr. Maker, and Aspiring Families Press:
