Babies and toddlers see families like theirs and meet families who look different. Real photographs and playful rhymes celebrate all genders and family structures, a joyful reminder that love makes a family.

Why we made it
All genders. All families. All love.
Too many board books treat one family structure as the default. We made this one so more children could see that their family belongs.
Real families
Every page is a photo of a real family, not a drawing.
Simple rhymes
Short, sweet lines that toddlers learn by heart.
Help for grown-ups
Discussion questions help you talk about the families and genders on every page.
Praise for Families
What readers are saying
“Understanding queer identities and representation can be this simple.”
“Pictures of real people always captivate the youngest book-lovers, and the photos in this book are simply beautiful.”
“My toddler loves the rhyming and the different families! She likes to point out the babies in each family.”
