My Perfect Family (Paperback)

There are so many different ways to make a family. Some are big and some are small. Some live in different houses, some in different countries. Some were created by blending two families, different generations, or with help from a donor, surrogate, or adoption.

My Perfect Family is a beautifully illustrated book showing every family is perfect, just the way they are!

My Perfect Family helps young children understand that it doesn't matter how a family is created, all families are perfect, and all children share similarities, even if their families don't.

Each full page spread introduces the reader to a new child and their family, then focuses on what each child loves to do. It shows children have similar passions and likes, such as trampolines, the beach, dancing or fat cats called Boris, no matter how their family was created.

This book helps raise awareness, brings inclusion and provides understanding of all different types of families. Born from a solo mum who had her daughter using a sperm donor, My Perfect Family will help normalise the language associated with donor conception/surrogacy/adoption/fostering and other family dynamics from an early age, without resorting to difficult conversations or scientific explanations.

Through carefully thought out diversity and inclusiveness, My Perfect Family aims for all children to find representation in one, or a combination, of the families within.
