The Uplift Family Playbook

For over 30 years, illustrator Kristen Caven creatively interpreted the ideas of prevention expert and community psychologist Dr. Louise Hart, who taught families all over the world how to build self-esteem in their children. On every page expressive girls and boys, moms and dads, animals and random funny characters all interact to illustrate crucial concepts for positive parenting teachings and tips. Each section also contains charts and mini-posters that make this one of the best authentic family resources you’ll ever find. From “LOL” to “AHA,” readers will find the pages of book so engaging they’ll want to tear some out and paste them on the wall…in fact, they are encouraged by the creators to do so! This work-and-play book bursts with charm and insight that parents will turn to over and over again for inspiration—and lessons kids will remember all their lives.

Kristen Caven and Louise Hart are a mother-daughter parent education team. Dr. Hart spoke to tens of thousands of parents across the country giving presentations and selling her book, The Winning Family, which all featured Caven’s illustrations. Hart’s concepts are foundational to building self-esteem in families, and their books teach win-win strategies and philosophy. Kristen is the author of Perfectly Revolting: My Glamorous Cartooning Career, Sammy Sperm’s Guide to Safe Sex and much much more.
