K-Gr 2–This remarkable book is one of the more recent additions to an award-winning collection coauthored by Madison and Ralli. This board book, perfect of reading aloud, gives parents a chance to start important conversations about the ways love can impact families and bring people closer together, whether they live under the same roof or not. Couples that represent different ages, shades, shapes, sizes, and genders are depicted, sharing what healthy relationships across the human spectrum look like. Vividly illustrated napping scenes, multicultural family gatherings, weddings, along with yoga classes, play dates, and neighborhood walks, complement the interactive text that offers children and adults entry points to talk about diverse households in a safe and supported way. Insightful ideas for deeper discussion are provided at the conclusion of the book. Librarians and teachers seeking resources to help Spanish-speaking families cover new territory about parenting and ways to love will appreciate the question-and-answer format that will help inspire discussion.
