By Todd Parr
Continuing my celebration of picturebooks my inner 5 year old loves, "The Family Book" by Todd Parr is exuberant and inclusive, with bold color-blocked graffiti-esque illustrations and a simple rhythm of statements about how many different ways there are to be a family.
Some families look alike.
Some families look like their pets.
Some families adopt children.
Some families have two mom or two dads.
All families like to hug each other!
"The Family Book" is awesome in springboarding discussions with kids about all kinds of families. It is a goldmine of inclusiveness, and I wish it could be read by everyone!
Thanks, Todd!

You may also want to add that this book while not part of a series, is one of may books by Todd that promotes being different. Some I love are:
We Belong Together: A book about Adoption and Families
It's Okay to Be Different
This is my Hair
and
The Peace Book.
