Praise for this book

2021 Stonewall Award Winner

"Understanding queer identities and representation can be this simple. With joyful, expressive photos, delightful rhyming text, and an explicitly feminist and queer-positive lens, Families shows children 0-5 the true diversity of the world around them and the families to which they belong." - American Library Association

"Even toddlers and preschool-aged children can learn about gender identity with this creative little board book." - Moms.com

"You just hit the board book jackpot...I urge you to run, not walk, to your nearest library or independent bookstore and grab yourself some copies. Any baby shower you bring these to will instantly make you the coolest gift giver in the room." - Betsy Bird, School Library Journal

"These books are the most inclusive (and beautiful!) board books I have ever seen! Each board book is full of beautiful photos depicting all kinds of kids and families from all different backgrounds, traditions, ages, shapes, and skin tones. The accompanying text in each book is pragmatic and joyful, creating a board book that transcends age. Seriously. I read this set of books to my 4th graders and they were transfixed!" ― Matthew Winner, The Children's Book Podcast
