Produktbeschreibung

If you're a fan of Todd Parr's messages of acceptance and diversity, you're certain to love this book. Not every family is the same. Some families ... ... have children and others do not ... have parents of the same gender ... wear unique clothing ... have parents who do not live with them ... have different customs and traditions ... look different from one another, ... but all families deserve to have their stories told. And all children deserve to see themselves and families that look like theirs in the books they are reading. The book is a celebration of all diverse families with a goal to create greater representation and visibility for many different types of families. The story uses simple language that could describe any family, complimented by vivid illustrations of a variety of unique family structures. It is an easy-to-read story with captivating illustrations designed to effectively engage the book's target audience - kids between the ages of 2-6. It tells a story that normalizes differences and honors a unique family type on every single page. The story starts with an awareness of differences between Some Families and then moves into the common experiences of All Families that unify us all. The book features a wide range of family types, including:a range of ethnicities and cultures mixed race families same sex parents single parents grandparents serving as parents / multi-generational multi-abled family members and more¿. Author's Note: This book has been nearly 30 years in the making. Some Families, All Families is my love note to the 100s of families I've worked with as a clinical social worker who shared with me they felt invisible. To them, I say "You are seen, you are valued and your story is worth telling."
