Stella Brings the Family

Stella Brings the Family is a picture book about a girl invited to a Mother’s Day celebration at school who isn’t sure whom to bring—she has two dads. As Stella figures it out, the story highlights the many people who care for her and affirms that families come in many forms. The gentle text and friendly illustrations make it an ideal conversation starter about family diversity, inclusion at school, and how to handle events that assume only one family structure. It’s a comforting, affirming read-aloud for early elementary classrooms and homes.
