And That’s Their Family

Finding picture books that normalize many kinds of families without feeling preachy can be surprisingly hard. After sifting through lots of “all families are different” titles, we love And That’s Their Family for its simple text, bright illustrations, and calm, matter‑of‑fact tone about queer, blended, and nontraditional families. Created by an inclusive children’s author to help kids see their own family reflected on the page, it walks through everyday scenes instead of heavy explanations. We especially like how the short, clear sentences make it easy to revisit often and spark kid‑led questions. It’s ideal for preschool and early‑elementary families, especially adoptive, LGBTQ+, and mixed households building an inclusive library. The story is brief, so you may want to pair it with other favorites, but its message lands cleanly every time. Pro tip: keep it in regular bedtime rotation so “all kinds of families” becomes an assumption, not a lesson.
