A is for Adoption, B is for Blended Family, C is for Co-Parenting. An ABC of Families is a board book for young children which celebrates families in every single shape and size, no matter what they look like or whom they include!

Whether you have two dads, an adopted brother, three stepsisters or divorced parents, every family is the perfect family. This important book helps the youngest children explore complicated concepts in an accessible, fun and memorable way.

Clear, simple language teaches kids about important concepts in a way that's easy to understand. This durable board book is great for toddlers and up, and brings the concepts to life with bright and bold pictures!

Each right-hand page includes a brightly decorated letter with the word it stands for and an encouraging slogan. On the left, a colourful illustration and bite-size text sum up the concept. Cheerful people from a range of backgrounds, ethnicities, and abilities in all different types of families lead the way through the alphabet.

- M is for Mom. The main gal(s) in the family.

- L is for Lineage. Where is your family from?

- T is for Traditions. The special things your family does together.

- U is for Unconditional Love. The most magical kind of love!

A sister title to the bestselling An ABC of Equality, this book shows us how to celebrate our differences, share kindness and understand the world.
