All Kinds of Families

I recently purchased this children's book as a special gift for my grandson and it has exceeded all of my expectations. The book does an excellent job of introducing the concept that families come in all different shapes and sizes, while keeping the language and concepts simple enough for younger children to understand.My grandson has been captivated by the story and the colorful illustrations, and I truly believe that it will help him develop a more inclusive and accepting mindset as he grows older. I am so grateful for this book and the important message that it promotes. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heartwarming and educational children's book.

Used for direct work with 2 children I am working with and this was amazing to explain different families. It was better than I expected including same sex relationships too so is very diverse!

Throughout the human world, there is all type of different families and the same can be said about the animal world too. In this colourful, vibrant picture book, author Sophy Henn educates children about the different setup of families that some animals create.From Orca’s who live for so long their Grandparents help look after the calf whilst their mum is off looking for food to male Cheetahs who sometimes come together to adopt a lost Cub and bring it up together. The book is filled with fascinating information on animal families, some of the information I didn’t know.This book will help children understand that there are different types of families in the world both in the human world and in the wild. Hopefully showing children that animals live in different set-ups will make them more understanding towards families that may have just one parent, or same-sex parents, etc. This would be especially useful for children who may be in a different family setting or have friends who live in a different setup. It would also be perfect for schools to use as a base to do a class project on the differences.The book was a complete joy to read. I loved the full-page illustrations, the large text, and the extra information about each of the animals at the back. For me, this is a must-read for all young children and I’m sure they will completely enjoy it. As the author states, families no matter how they are made up have one thing in common, love.Book Reviewed on Whispering Stories Book Blog*I received a free copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed

Looks a lovely book and I’m sure my son will love it.Unfortunately it arrived damaged as delivery driver folded the package to fit it through the letter box, bending the book.A real shame - surely he could have knocked on the door rather than damage my delivery?!

All Kinds Of Families is perfect for our same-sex adopter family but I think it’s so important for all children to have access to books which represent everyone. This book features an array of colourful animal families with one thing in common - love!This should be on every child’s to be read list.
