About this book

What is your family like? Do you have a big family, or is it cosy and small? Perhaps you live with your grandparents too? Every family is slightly different. And animal families are different too. Some grow up with lots of siblings, some have one baby at a time. Sometimes it's one parent who's in charge, sometimes the wider family help look after the little ones. Find out how clownfish grow up - and albatrosses, cheetahs, orcas and emus, to name but a few.

A fantastic non-fiction book showcasing a variety of family structures using animal families. It could be useful to start conversations about how every family is different - but they all love each other.
