The essential guide for blended families and becoming a step-parent.

'A brilliant companion to help families going through big changes.' - Giovanna Fletcher

'An empowering and truly modern parenting book' - Fearne Cotton

'Inclusive, important and powerful' - Roxie Nafousi

'When I started out on this journey, it all seemed pretty simple: I thought that love would be enough to see me through. I had no idea what it would take to create a fully blended family - just how many factors and emotions would be involved or how deep it would all go.'

How To Build A Family is a nurturing and supportive handbook for anyone looking for help on becoming a step-parent and starting a blended family.

Drawing on Kate Ferdinand's experience of becoming a step-mum to three children, and including advice and tips from other blended families (because every family is unique) and parenting experts, you'll learn how to:

- Help the kids accept you
- Manage moving into the family home
- Deal with grief and divorce
- Manage comparisons to previous partners
- Build positive relationships with the wider family... and much more!

Whether you are a stepparent, grandparent, solo parent, guardian or friend, this book will empower you to navigate the ups and downs, and discover the joy that comes with building your own blended family.

'I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers, but I will say that if you can just stick with it, being a stepparent can be one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do. My goal is to encourage, inspire and support families everywhere, and I really hope you find this book helpful.' - Kate x
