Looking for a truly inclusive book about families? Every fabulous family make-up you could wish for is represented here in this bright and beautiful non-fiction book.

‘My Family, Your Family’ can be used on several levels; firstly as a walk-through-the-world with children, picking out different characters, asking questions and focusing purely on Giovana Medeiros’ captivating illustrations; secondly following the speech bubbles in the illustrations to build a narrative; and thirdly using the text itself to create an increasingly detailed and representational information book about families today.

This book doesn’t shy away from showing us that families can be whatever we want them to be and that every family is different. The book includes pages about community groups, family trees and how families change over time. There should be a place in every classroom for this all-encompassing book. The glossary will be particularly useful – check your understanding of terms such as blended families, heritage, kinship, donorship, surrogacy and diblings. It delivers sound advice for adults to enhance conversations with children and can be used as a springboard into work on Families, Belonging and PSHE.
