What makes a family? Shared moments, cherished traditions, shared experiences – because family is where we find love, support, and security. "A Family Like Ours" lovingly celebrates the wonderful diversity of families, the developments they go through over a lifetime, and most importantly, what connects them all. In this enchanting picture book, Frank Murphy and Alice Lee show that family is wonderfully diverse and as different as its members. As parents and children flip through the richly illustrated double pages, they discover various family constellations that encounter each other outdoors or experience special moments at home. Whether large, small, single-parent, queer, close or far away, whether a chosen family of friends or a mom-dad-child unit: where there is family, there is love. The warm-hearted and sensitive illustrations by Kayla Harren are a love letter to all families out there.
