My kids are entering their teenage years now, but their unplugged, imaginative childhoods set the foundation for the thoughtful, creative people they've become.

I am so excited to watch as the next generation is shaped by the wisdom in these pages."--Erin Benzakein, author of <i>Floret Farm's Cut Flower Garden<br></i><br>"When <i>The Creative Family</i> was published ten years ago, I was a mom of two young children.

The simple prompts reminded me to stay present and curious. My original, dog-eared, bookmarked copy, along with this newly released version, will be passed on to my son and daughter as they begin their own families."--Blair Stocker, author of <i>Wise Craft Quilts</i> <p/>"In the face of technological advances and endless child-raising possibilities, it's easy to lose site of what matters most. <i>The Creative Family Manifesto</i> brings us back to the basics with a grounded reminder that creativity starts with family connection, play, rituals, and a focus on the handmade.
