“In the face of technological advances and endless child-raising possibilities, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. The Creative Family Manifesto brings us back to the basics with a grounded reminder that creativity starts with family connection, play, rituals, and a focus on the handmade. If you’re looking for direction on how to gracefully weave creativity into your family life, look no further than Amanda Blake Soule as your trusted guide.”

“Amanda’s original book, The Creative Family , was my blueprint as a young mom. It helped shape my approach to parenting and our value system as a family. Her simple projects and activities became part of our daily lives and helped us start our own traditions. My kids are entering their teenage years now, but their unplugged, imaginative childhoods set the foundation for the thoughtful, creative people they’ve become.”

“The work of Amanda Soule has weaved its way into so many of our homes, and what was a pioneering proclamation ten years ago, The Creative Family Manifesto has circled back once again to restore its rightful place on our nightstands, motivating us to live more fully.”

“When The Creative Family was published ten years ago, I was a mom of two young children. At that time, Amanda’s lovely words inspired a new level of appreciation and discovery that helped guide me through those simple (at times monotonous) days I spent with my little family. The simple prompts reminded me to stay present and curious. My original, dog-eared, bookmarked copy, along with this newly released version, will be passed on to my son and daughter as they begin their own families.”

“Amanda Soule has been a beacon of light for so many of us creative, full-hearted women. Through her blog and her books she inspires, teaches, and shows us how to bring creativity into the every day. The Creative Family Manifesto is gift to us all.”
