Little Chick starts to notice that not all families are the same. Some have a mom and a dad. Others have brothers and sisters. But he has two moms. No brothers, sisters, or a dad. He finds himself with a lot of questions and his mothers have one thing to say: "family is family." Just because he has two moms doesn't mean they aren't family. They all still love each other just the same.

FAMILY IS FAMILY introduces to children the different family dynamics that can exist in our ever-changing world. Family runs deeper than blood though and this book showcases that idea. The illustrations are cute and I love that the main characters are animals.

Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children who may come from a different type of household or for those parents who want to introduce diversity to their children. It's also perfect for children who love animals.
