Story Explorers: Diversity of family life
Highlighting the many permutations of family life in our society, these stories celebrate the beautiful diversity of what it means to be a family
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and for all children, it’s important to see their own experiences reflected in the stories they read.
Books can offer comfort, validation, and a sense of belonging by showing that there is no one‘right’ way to be a family.
We’ve selected these books to highlight the many permutations of family life in our society. From traditional nuclear families to foster, adoptive, and kinship families, these stories celebrate the beautiful diversity of what it means to be a family.
As you explore these books, we hope children will see their own family set-up – and the families of their friends – reflected in these pages, leading to a sense of pride and understanding. Discover our book recommendations reflecting the diversity of family life.
