About the Book

How do we encourage conversations about family in a way that’s reflective and inclusive of the diverse society we live in?

Single parent, blended family, same sex couples, fostered, live-in grandparents, carers…it’s time we expand the image of families in children’s books.

Written by Tenielle Stoltenkamp and illustrated by Go Suga, My family doesn’t look like your family blends counting and inclusive questions with bold illustrations crafted to represent diverse families of all shapes and forms.

Our aim is for every child to see their own family on the pages of this book and to know that - even though every family looks and does things differently - we all have a place we belong.
