Book Hero thinking about your next read

You are loved by so many people. Most of all you are loved by your family. No one loves you like your family loves you. Families come in so many different shapes and sizes - some are far away, some live all together, some have two mummies and some two daddies. Every family is unique!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Families come in many different shapes and forms — but they all teach you how to be strong and show you how loved you are. Alongside a sweet and simple narrative, the warm illustrations tell their own story.

Beginning with Sofia Sanchez’s adopted family, readers will meet families with two mums and two dads, families with single parents and kids raised by grandparents, guardians or older siblings. Big families, small families, extended families, blended families, and mixed race families — including parents with their own differences that make them unique, too.

This heart-warming companion book to 2021’s You Are Enough highlights the important message that families aren’t just the people you live with. They include the people in your school, your community and the people you choose who love you and empower you just the way you are.
