Books about Families

Family is special because it looks different for each of us! And no matter what your family looks like, you know you’ve found it when you feel happy and at home.

Love is baking a special cake. Love is lending a helping hand. Love is reading one more book. In this exuberant board book, many different families are shown in happy activity, from an early-morning wake-up to a kiss before bed. Whether a child has two moms, two dads, one parent, or one of each, this simple preschool read-aloud demonstrates that what's most important in each family's life is the love the family members share.

Guide your child through new experiences with "My World and Me." These books help your little one grow from baby to toddler, introducing important new experiences with bright illustrations, fun characters, and first words. "My Family" is perfect for introducing your child to diverse families.

What do families look like? Who's in your family? And how can families change? With delightful illustrations, this glorious celebration of family diversity talks about lone-parent families, adoptive, foster, divorced, remarried, and multi-racial families, and lots, lots more, showing little children that families come in all shapes and sizes.

Growing up, the authors didn't see families like theirs. As gay dads to four adopted kids, they're here to show that all kinds of families are beautiful and possible. They share their journey to parenthood and the empowering message that anyone can build a family—all you need is love (and maybe ice cream and silliness) to make it happen.
