Every Family is Different. Every Family is the Same.

By Poppy Archer

Children grow up in families that, on the surface, might look different. This makes Sally wonder why she has a brother when her friend has a sister, and this leads to a touching and moving picture book looking at the different families we find in the present day, all localised around Sally's street and her own family.

Children who have same-sex parents, who are being brought up by grandparents, who are in large families, mixed-race families, children in foster care will all find households they can relate to in this charming story, which normalises and celebrates difference, while looking for similarities between the people who are portrayed.
