Reviews
Bought this book to explain to our daughter about different families and her pending adoption! Perfect book for her situation!
Andrea Payne, five stars, Amazon.co.uk
Fabulous book. A great gift for any child, particularly for families who are a bit different.

It is a very good book including many races, sexual orientation, single parents and genders in the book. Ideal for all children to have an understanding of different family units as well as adoption. There should be more books like this reflecting different types of children.
