Who's in My Family? All about Our Families

This heartwarming picture book uses the relatable experiences of siblings Nellie and Gus to gently introduce young readers to the concept of diverse family structures. Through observations at the zoo and a lively family dinner, the children explore various family types, from nuclear and extended families to single-parent and blended families, and even families with different numbers of children. Robie H. Harris's signature warm and reassuring tone, combined with engaging illustrations, helps normalize different family configurations and encourages empathy and understanding. It's an excellent resource for parents and educators looking to open conversations about family diversity and affirm every child's place within their own unique family.

Nellie and her little brother Gus discuss all kinds of families during a day at the zoo and dinner at home with their relatives afterwards.
