A Family Is a Family Is a Family

In a bright classroom bursting with crayon rainbows and whispered giggles, a teacher asks her students what makes their families special—and the answers flow like colorful confetti: “My grandma and I cook together,” “I have two dads,” “I just got a new baby sister,” “My big brother lives next door.” One child hesitates, worried that her family’s story is too different to share, until she hears that love, caring, and belonging are the threads tying every family’s quilt together. Sara O’Leary’s warm, whimsical text and Qin Leng’s quirky, heart-tugging illustrations invite educators, students, and faith groups to celebrate Family Diversity and the fundamental right we all share—Relational Justice—reminding everyone that no matter the shape, size, or makeup of a household, what matters most is who shows up with open arms. This inclusive treasure is perfect for storytime circles, Sunday-school gatherings, and classroom social-emotional lessons.
