Reflection and Comments
Some kids think that just because things are a certain way in their household that means that it’s the same for everyone. That’s why it’s great that we have books like The Great Big Book of Families.
We love that this book doesn’t just talk about the two parent family, but how diverse each family really is and that we should accept and celebrate this.
Being inclusive and respectful of all families is important and this book is perfect for that!
