New in 2007: FamilyStories are Everywhere

Hunt Valley, MD, June 29, 2007 --(PR.com)-- FamilyStories is a beautiful celebration of the richness of family life. This multimedia resource weaves current information about child development with shared wisdom, myths, stories, activities and ideas from families, friends, educators and experts. FamilyStories reaches all families, wherever they are:

• In bookstores beginning fall 2007
• On the airwaves with XM Radio
• In the community with United Way/Born Learning-funded FamilyStories workshops

Inspired by the indelible influence of family experiences, FamilyStories supports healthy family life and imaginative, lifelong learning. Books and programs explore eight major areas in the life of a family: Everyday Moments, Special Memories, School and Learning, Seasonal Celebrations, Twists & Turns, Let’s Discuss That, Special Interests & Needs, and Storykeeping.

In Fall 2007, five FamilyStories books are available through Sterling Books:
Nighty Night: Tried-and-true special bedtime traditions and tales for the whole family
My Two Homes: Practical and hopeful wisdom for families, from families, when parents separate or divorce
Making Spirits Bright: Discover new ways for your family to enjoy the simple pleasures of the holiday season
Tooth Fairy Time: Everything you need to know about losing a tooth and the magic that follows
Family Night!: Jam-packed with activities, games & great ideas for family fun

FamilyStories is the creation of Susan Magsamen, author, researcher, and founder of Curiosity Kits creative learning company.
