I've grown increasingly frustrated at receiving copy after copy of The Snowy Day, when I know there is a huge range of amazing children's literature featuring children of color. This site is meant to offer suggestions for books that our family enjoys (let's face it, there are a lot of bad books out there). And to save the masses from endless copies of The Snowy Day.

We Are Family, by Patricia Hegarty
I typically don't like books without a plot, but this one is an exception. It follows ten different types of families - two moms, two dads, parents with four children, a single mother and child, a child raised by his grandparents, and so on. In addition, these families are made up of various races. Our son was beyond delighted to find a family exactly the same as ours (a transracial adoption) and follow it through various activities and note the similarities - we also eat croissants! we all ride bikes! we like to cuddle on the sofa too, how did they know?! If by chance your family is one of those pictured, I highly recommend this book.
