Praise For…


A welcome addition.
—Kirkus Reviews

Harris’s upbeat, nonjudgmental prose explains that families can diverge in many ways.
—Publishers Weekly

The prose is unadorned and economical, but gentle, and perfect for very young children. Digitally created images are bright and welcoming and feature a host of multicultural characters and diverse families.
—School Library Journal

Teachers and parents looking for a picture book about diverse families will find this an obvious choice, with its clearly written, inclusive text and its large, cheerful illustrations that show up well from a distance.
—Booklist

Both the message and the models should help adults start a conversation about their own families and provide children warm reassurance that “children and grown-ups and their families really do love one another!”
