I LOVE how inclusive this book is. Some people are clearly offended by the page with (seemingly) two dads, so I wonder if the same people are also offended by all the POC or the big sister in wheel chair 🙄 Imagine what the world would be like if children were more educated and accepting of families that look different from their own. I have recommended this book to growing families and will continue to do so!!
A Great Book

I love this book for my little one. Inclusive and has a good message. To speak on some of the other reviews- this book features two men holding two kids on the second to last page. There is NO inappropriate content- they aren’t kissing, holding hands, or anything that is suggestive that they’re in a “relationship” other than it is a book about family. If it makes you uncomfortable to see two men holding two kids, don’t buy this book. But also don’t let the crazy people here claiming that this book has “inappropriate images” scare you into thinking there’s actually something that’s age inappropriate in this book. ** picture of the page that previous reviewers are considering “inappropriate” below **

Returned this as it is not for our family! We will choose what we want to expose our children to & as to what age. Definitely will not be done in a children’s book.
Very age in appropriate content.

The book has a very age-inappropriate content on the second last page. Very inappropriate for such a young child. I don't understand what is the matter with this people. We are returning this and never be buying anything fromt this author/publisher and Target. They need to be upfront with people and give a snapshot of the main topics in the book so that people purchasing them online know what is in the book. Instead of burying it in there. I was lucky my 5 year old daughter pointed this to me.
Great for all kids and all families!

This is why I shop at Target! Love that this book shows all different ethnicities, cultures, and family types. It’s a picture of families today. And my daughter was so excited to see a family that looked like our family included. This meant a lot to her and to me.

Inappropriate content. Was excited to read this book to my 1 year old and realized that as a parent, you need to review all books before hand. The content on this book is something that will be introduced at a later point in time when our children will be able to understand such topics. Every household is different, every parenting style is different, and it should be respected.

Not sure why they wouldn’t mention that this book includes inappropriate content in it. Definitely not ready to introduce that stuff to my 2 year old. Returning immediately. Shame on them.
Love it!

This is a very cute book! It has been a big hit with our 4 year old who is preparing to become a big sister soon. I also like that it showcases a variety of different people and families. Unlike some of the reviewers here, I personally want to raise kind, open-hearted children who respect all races and orientations outside of their own. This book is a good start!
Nice book to add to your baby-on-the-way library

We’re preparing to tell our 5.5 year old that she’s going to be a big sister. This book is very simplistic and may be better suited for the toddler crowd. However I wanted to leave a positive review because this book does a nice job of providing pictures of many kinds of families and caregivers. Regarding all the one star reviews: there is one page that depicts two men with a baby. Very sad that there are so many hateful people in the world…I feel bad for their children.
Great book that represents all families

Let me save you all the suspense of the last two pages- it’s shows two dads. If you believe that all people deserve the chance to be happy and that you respect others than hey, maybe you won’t find different families being represented appalling- I don’t personally.
Great book for big sister, diverse families

My daughter loves this book! She’s memorized most of the book. This helped prep her for the new baby and got her very excited for her new role. I loved the realistic ideas for how a big sister can “help” with new baby. Bonus points for the diverse families!

Shame on me purchasing this online without being able to read thoroughly first. Thankfully I read before gifting this book to someone. Not material that is appropriate for small children to be exposed to without a fair expectation set of what’s inside. Do better, Target.
