About the Book

Traditions built side-by-side with family.

The heart of this engaging, inter-generational book represents uncomplicated time shared together, imaginations on fire, and the treasure of unconditional love.

Six rhyming children’s stories with vivid, engaging illustrations depict the simple yet fabulous delight that families share by intentionally creating ALL IN fun.

The first story, Building the Stone House, establishes the setting for the next five stories. Each one chronicles the sheer joy felt by this real family — and the deep love that binds them together.

Readers will soon discover that these stories can spark memories of their own unique traditions. The Our Traditions Your Way in the back of the book — including The Birthday Parade and Handprint Hall — can be adapted for any family to bring their memories alive and create activities to share. The Seek & Find pages invite creative discovery as families hunt for pictures hidden in the stories.
