"A warm, reassuring, informative guide to families, in all their glorious forms"
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and whatever yours looks like, or your best friend’s, you’ll find it represented in this accessible, informative book.
Our guides are a friendly little dog called Murphy, and a wise little bird called Tiki, and together they answer all the questions children might have about families, how they form, who’s in them, what makes them. It’s illustrated in full colour throughout, and the illustrations are full of humour and details that children will recognise – look out for the mum covered in baby food in the section, ‘What do parents and carers do in a family?’ A section at the end suggests various fun ways you could celebrate your family, while there’s also a useful list of questions and conversation starters for adults to share with children.
A useful book that will prompt lots of talking and understanding.
