Love Makes A Family - Paperback

by Jesse Van Schoonhoven (Author)

Love Makes a Family is a joyful celebration of all the wonderful ways families can look, and a reminder that love is what makes them whole.

From pancake breakfasts and pillow forts to disco-ball dances and garden adventures, children share the everyday magic of life with their mums, dads, grandparents, or carers. Some families are big, some are small. Some have two mums, two dads, one parent, or a parent who isn't called "mum" or "dad" at all. Some children are born with the help of a donor, and some are raised by grandparents. Every family is unique... and every family is made of love.

With warm watercolor illustrations and playful, read-aloud text, this inclusive picture book helps children ages 5-11 see themselves and others reflected on the page. It reassures kids that no matter what their family looks like, they belong.
