Overview

"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.
