Not every family is the same.  Some families ...
  • ... have children and others do not
  • ... have distinctive physical features
  • ... have parents of the same gender
  • ... wear unique clothing
  • ... have parents who do not live with them
  • ... have different customs and traditions 

But all families deserve to have their stories told.  And all children deserve to see themselves and families that look like theirs in the books they are reading.  

Some Families, All Families is a new illustrated children's book in the Scoochie & Skiddles Inclusive Kids' Books Collection.  The book is a celebration of all diverse families with a goal to create greater representation and visibility for many different types of families.  The story uses simple language that could describe any family, complimented by vivid illustrations of a variety of unique family structures.  It is an easy-to-read story with captivating illustrations designed to effectively engage the book's target audience - kids between the ages of 2-6.  My goal is to tell a story that normalizes differences and honors a unique family type on every single page.

The book features a wide range of family types, including:
  • multiple ethnicities and cultures
  • mixed race families
  • same sex parents 
  • single parents
  • grandparents serving as parents / multi-generational
  • multi-abled family members
  • and more.​

The story starts with an awareness of differences between Some Families and then moves into the experiences of All Families that unify us all.
