This delightful compendium of creative ways to work with children, parents and carers is an incredible treasure trove of resources for any professional. It will be invaluable for new workers or students, but with my 35 years of experience I still found loads of new ways of working with children, from online support through to games and new ways of bringing old favourites like genograms to life, so I would recommend it as the perfect resource for anyone working with children and their families. This is partly because the wonderful illustrations and concrete case examples bring alive the approaches and is partly because there are just so many ideas here - it is bursting with exciting and interesting ways of working with children and families. The author, illustrator and the many workers and children who helped create this fantastic resource have done us all a huge service. Thank you!
