Critics Review
“With a neon palette, this title affirms families in all their diverse splendor beyond the binaries, religious conventions, and expectations that the world has created… reminiscent of Todd Parr’s The Family Book but with an even more expansive representation of family, genders, and roles. Celebrating families who are ‘wonderfully different’ with gusto, this title will be appreciated by a wide spectrum of readers and their families seeking to live their lives to the fullest expression of their true selves.”–School Library Journal, starred review
“Groovy eye-catching art lends a cheerful retro vibe to this simple but effective ode to intersectionally diverse families…it’s a straightforward look at how close-knit, nonjudgmental support systems ensure that ‘I like to be myself just like… me!’”–Publishers Weekly
