Lia's Heart Has Room: A Children's Book About Blended Families, Stepmoms, and Growing a Bigger Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196309373)

Does your child struggle with sharing your attention in a blended family?

Hi, it's me - Lia! I'm seven years old. You might remember me from my two homes. But today, I want to tell you about something that was really hard for my heart: when Daddy got married to my stepmom.

Before, it was just me and Daddy. He was ALL mine. But now, they talk at dinner, they share jokes, and sometimes when I try to sit on Daddy's lap, she is already there. It gives my tummy a wobbly, too-much feeling. Have you ever felt that way?

Lia's Heart Has Room is a gentle, relatable story about the big feelings that come with a parent's remarriage. Through Lia's honest and touching journey, children will learn a beautiful truth: love isn't like a cookie that gets smaller when you share it. Hearts just grow bigger!

Why this book will enter your reader's heart:

• Validates Big Emotions: Acknowledges a child's feelings of jealousy and displacement as signs of deep love, not bad behavior.
• Encourages Connection: Provides a comforting, easy-to-understand metaphor to help kids realize that a stepparent's presence doesn't diminish a biological parent's love.
• Bonus Content for Parents: Includes a special "Note for Grown-Ups" with practical, gentle advice from the author (a stepmom herself) on navigating emotional transitions and honoring the bio-parent bond.

This book is a must-have resource for stepfamilies, counselors, and any home navigating the beautiful, messy journey of blending together.
