All About the Family

Children take pride and comfort in their families, and they derive confidence from those who love them at home. One size doesn’t fit all. Some families are separated by oceans, others live in the same town. Some are huge, others are tiny. Some have one parent, or two parents, or a grandparent who is like a parent. It’s important that children’s books reflect a variety of family structures so that children see themselves reflected in their books and appreciate that not all families are alike. 

Reviews You Can Use


In All Kinds of Special, Mia and her mom are delighted to have moved from an apartment to their very own house, but goodbyes are hard. A mango tree in their new front yard gives them a whopping surprise (so many mangoes!) so they call on the neighbors for help, and soon their life is filled with new hellos. In Lola’s Nana-Bibi Comes to Visit, Lola’s routine looks different when her grandma is visiting her from Africa. Lola moves to the blow-up mattress, Nana-Bibi comes with gifts, they cook special meals together, and they bond in that special way of grandparents and grandchildren. In Beautiful You, Beautiful Me, Izzy notices that her hair and skin aren’t like her mama’s, but she realizes that babies everywhere—including animals—can look different than their mamas and belong with them just the same.
