From Down syndrome advocate and viral sensation Sofia Sanchez comes this beautiful and inclusive picture book about all the different ways to make a family.
Families come in many different shapes and forms — but they all teach you how to be strong and show you how loved you are.
Alongside a sweet and simple narrative, the warm illustrations tell their own story. Beginning with Sofia Sanchez’s adopted family, readers will meet families with two moms and two dads, families with single parents, and kids raised by grandparents, guardians, or older siblings. Big families, small families, extended families, blended families, and mixed race families — including parents with their own differences that make them unique, too.
This heartwarming companion book to 2021’s You Are Enough highlights the important message that families aren’t just the people you live with. They include the people in your school, your community, and the people you choose who love you and empower you just the way you are.
A new baby is on the way and Sofia is a little nervous!
Sofia’s dads always told her their family was just right after she came along. But now a new baby is on the way and everything will change!
Told in the form of a letter to baby Oliver, All Our Love invites readers to feel Sofia’s anticipation, her worries and excitement, and the big love she feels for her family.
With a warm and joyful tone, this new baby story will resonate with all families, and prompt readers to think about what makes them feel loved, and what makes their own family special!
When a teacher asks the children in her class to think about what makes their families special, the answers are all different in many ways ― but the same in the one way that matters most of all.
One child is worried that her family is just too different to explain, but listens as her classmates talk about what makes their families special. As they describe who they live with and who loves them ― family of every shape, size and every kind of relation ― the child realizes that as long as her family is full of caring people, it is special.

An action-packed, heart-warming tale of being true to your word and true to yourself, from the creators of the international bestseller La souris qui rugit.
Joseph’s grandfather made him a beautiful blanket when he was a baby, but now it’s frazzled and worn, and Joseph’s mother says it is time to throw it out.
Joseph doesn’t want to part with his special blanket, and he’s sure that his grandfather can fix it. Sure enough, Grandfather miraculously alters the blanket into useful items again and again. But when Joseph loses the final item, even Grandfather can’t make something from nothing. But maybe Joseph can?
Based on the Yiddish folktale “Joseph’s overcoat,” Phoebe Gilman’s gorgeous artwork charts the transformation of the blanket and the progress of Joseph’s family through the years, subtly teaching young readers about a lost way of life.
