A teacher asks her classmates to think about what makes their family special. One classmate believes his family is too different from others to be able to explain it.

As he listens to his classmates describe families of all types and sizes, he realizes that his family, while atypical, is still a family.

Adoption, stepfamilies, same-sex parenting, divorce, and traditional families are explored in this picture book by award-winning author Sara O'Leary. A warm and captivating look at different types of families, gently highlighted by Qin Leng's exquisite illustrations.
