How Many Grown-ups Do You Have?: A Book about Unconventional Families

How many grown-ups does it take to make a family? Maybe your family is "unconventional", but I bet it is not that uncommon!

This book is for children of unconventional/non-traditional families and for anyone who wants to introduce a child to the idea that families come in all shapes and sizes.

Lovingly hand-illustrated, the book features a diversity of family configurations, including:

• queer families,
• multi-generational families,
• polyamorous families,
• single-parent families,
• co-parenting families,
• an adoptive family,
• a step-family,
• a foster family.

Each spread of the book describes a child's family in simple language, while making it clear that no family is "unusual".

The book also contains a brief simple-language "Family Vocabulary" as a conversation-starter about family diversity.

"How Many Grown-ups Do You Have?" is suitable for even the youngest of readers (ages 0-6 years), as you can explore the pages in any order and even just a few at a time.
