All You Need Is Love is an excellent portrayal of a wide variety of families. It is a perfect book to be a window or mirror for diverse students. This book offers many readers a glimpse into what makes a family so important no matter what it looks like.

Gorgeous message!
I have a certain sensitivity to those little details that resonate in me with beauty and truth. This book written in a poetic style touched my heart and warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
Acceptance and love have that wonderful quality of profound healing and transformation. Shanni Collins's beautiful message celebrates the essence and human need to sustain meaningful, nurturing bonds, where to thrive and reach our best potential, can only be generated when the relationship is cultivated with these values. When we open our hearts, and we are brave enough to establish a very intimate, personal and also transpersonal communion, it is when we fructify as human beings.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

Cute poems about all different families. I'm struggling to determine whether I like it but the rhyme scheme turns the message into something trite. Nonetheless, this is definitely a book I will add to my classroom library and integrate to my Poetry Speed Dating Activity as it offers a wholesome look at different families.

All You Need is Love: Celebrating Families of All Shapes and Sizes by Shanni Collins is an important book for children and families. Families come in different shapes and sizes, but they are all special when they love and respect each other. These rhyming pages are a celebration of the diversity of families and encourage inclusion and acceptance in a child's relationships. These short looks at different families support a positive approach to life at a young age, which fosters strong mental health and well-being. Each page is dedicated to a different family, with stories exploring adoption, fostering, disability, race, gender, and illness. Filled with humour and delightfully illustrated, children will love reading these stories with friends, family and in school again and again.

All You Need is Love: Celebrating Families of All Shapes and Sizes is a nice book to share as a family, or in a larger classroom or community setting. It celebrates that each family might be a little different, but each is special and wonderful. I liked how many different family combinations were shown, and how simply those differences were illustrated. I think the collection clearly shows that it is the love of a family, regardless of those that form it, is the most important part of any family. The illustrations and rhyming stories offer some humor and insights that will engage readers of all ages and bring home the importance of love and acceptance to any readers ready to take it in.The text following the stories can further support the adults trying to nurture those in various family make ups or explain changes.

I'm always looking for books that my students can identify with so I requested a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The thought and intent of the book was lovely, but short. I love discovering new poetry collections so that all my kids can try to find at least one poem that they can identify with. The execution of the book was slightly muddled, with some poems trying to hard to fit the certain rhyme scheme and theme.
