Description
A is for Adoption, B is for Blended Family, C is for Co-Parenting. An ABC of Families celebrates families in every single shape and size, no matter what they look like or whom they include!
Whether you have two dads, an adopted brother, three stepsisters, or divorced parents, every family is the perfect family. This important book helps the youngest children explore complicated concepts in an accessible, fun, and memorable way. Clear, simple language teaches kids about important concepts in a way that’s easy to understand.
Each right-hand page includes a brightly decorated letter with the word it stands for and an encouraging slogan. On the left, a colorful illustration and bite-size text sum up the concept. Cheerful people from a range of backgrounds, ethnicities, and abilities in all different types of families lead the way through the alphabet.
L is for Lineage. Where is your family from?
T is for Traditions. The special things your family does together.
U is for Unconditional Love. The most magical kind of love!
A sister title to the best-selling An ABC of Equality, this book shows us how to celebrate our differences, share kindness, and understand the world.

This is a lovely bright book filled with bold and colourful illustrations. I think it is a great book to teach toddlers about all the different kinds of family there are. It would be good to have in a nursery or school library.
Young readers might recognise words that describe their own family but they will also learn about other types of family too! I like how all the family members and types of family are included. There are people of different ages, genders, ethnicities, abilities and sexualities so that everyone feels included.
There is a double page for each letter of the alphabet. One page has the letter and a family related word then the other page describes the meaning of the word. Adults sometimes find it hard to explain things like this but the book shows children these new ideas and explains them clearly and simply. Readers will learn that no matter what kind of family they have it is perfect for them.

This is a fantastic book for children, which shows different types of families and how they relate to the letters of the alphabet. The book is bright and colourful, and my daughter and I loved it. It has some questions for children about their family, so it encourages discussion, and children will love the bright graphics, which show lots of happy faces of family members. I liked how the book showed same sex families and blended families, as well as other types of families, so it is inclusive for everyone. I highly recommend this wonderful book!
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
