'Joyfully inclusive. A celebration of families of every shape and size' - The Bookseller

Who’s ready to answer the family quiz?

Let’s try to work out what a family is!

Is your family big or small? Noisy or quiet? Is it full of singing and hugs? Or dancing and dogs? Is it one you were born into? Or one that found you?

This joyfully inclusive picture book celebrates every kind of family - and the love that lies at the heart of each one. From Robert Tregoning, Polari Prize-shortlisted author of Out of the Blue, with stunning illustrations by the award-winning Yasmeen Ismail.

About the Author

Robert Tregoning studied at the Glasgow School of Art before leaping in to a career on the West End stage. He has appeared in stage shows including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes, and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Matilda the Musical.

As an LGBTQ+ writer, Robert hopes to help children and adults alike to accept and celebrate all that makes us uniquely ourselves. The stories Robert writes are stories he wishes he could have read as a child. He hopes they provide a voice of recognition, validation and kindness to those who need it.

Irish-born, Bristol-based Yasmeen Ismail is an award-winning author, illustrator and animator. Her first picture book, Time for Bed, Fred, won the V&A Best Illustrated Book Award and the New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award, and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. She has illustrated over 15 books, including Specs for Rex and My Brother is an Avocado.
