My Family, Your Family

Makayla loves her mom, dad, and dog but is worried that when her mom has the new baby the family will grow and change. Her parents set her a task to visit other families in the neighbourhood and find a great thing about each family. Makayla’s journey helps her discover that all families may be different but they all have love in common. Suitable as a read-aloud and for independent reading, this simple, straightforward picture book with bright illustrations celebrates various types of families, including adopted, same-sex, grandparent, divorced, childless, single child, and blended, and can launch discussions of family structures and families in other cultures.
