Family Means...

Written by Matthew Ralph and Illustrated by Badrus Soleh

Every family is different. But in the end, all families have the same core values of love, kindness and acceptance. The real question is… what does family mean to you?

Small, big, colorful and fun - a family can be so many things. Every family is special, and this book celebrates all forms of living together: no one is left out. The types of families represented include nuclear/traditional families, adoption families, blended families, multiracial families, stepfamilies, single-parent families as well as LGBT families. Each page starts with the words “Family means…” and shows different types of families in various everyday situations.
