Description

Age range 3 to 9

I Promise captures with love and honesty the intimate moments of parenting in all their messy glory—from dealing with a kid who doesn't want to brush their teeth to looking under the bed for monsters to cuddling after a long day. This charming picture book showcases the many shapes, sizes, and colours that families come in, emphasising that every queer family starts with the sacred promise to love a child.

I Promise is a children's picture book that aims to take the heteronormative conversation of the 'birds and the bees' and turn it on its head. Since many folks from the queer community resort to various measures of conception, from sperm donation to surrogate parents, I wanted to write a picture book where the conversation about where babies come from is refocused on the promise to love a child." - Catherine Hernandez
