How many grown-ups does it take to make a family? Maybe your family is "unconventional", but I bet it is not that uncommon!
This book is for children of unconventional/non-traditional families and for anyone who wants to introduce a child to the idea that families come in all shapes and sizes.
Lovingly hand-illustrated, the book features a diversity of family configurations, including:
- queer families,
- multi-generational families,
- polyamorous families,
- single-parent families,
- co-parenting families,
- an adoptive family,
- a step-family,
- a foster family.
Each spread of the book describes a child's family in simple language, while making it clear that no family is "unusual".
The book also contains a brief simple-language "Family Vocabulary" as a conversation-starter about family diversity.
"How Many Grown-ups Do You Have?" is suitable for even the youngest of readers (ages 0-6 years), as you can explore the pages in any order and even just a few at a time.
