My Family and Other Families

Description

A gentle and light-hearted tale about friends, family, and ferris wheels, Richard and Lewis Edwards-Middleton’s debut children’s book shows a world where there are all kinds of families, and they are all equal.Liam has just one thing on his mind: making it to the ferris wheel to use his ticket. There’s just enough time to check out the rest of the carnival, where his friends are playing games, eating popcorn, and going on rides with their parents and guardians. But when Liam’s ferris wheel ticket gets lost, it’s a race against time for him and his friends to find it. 
 
This fun and funny picture book represents all sorts of families and all sorts of children. With vibrant illustrations to accompany the narrative, this children’s book is perfect for adults to share with their little ones to help them understand that we are all different yet also all the same. 
  Richard and Lewis are a married couple living in London living with their two kids, aged six and three. They became a family through adoption, making them a two Dad family, which they have shared on their Two Dads in London blog (https://twodadsinlondon.com/) and Instagram. Seeing how much their children enjoy and learn through storytime inspired them to write a fun, imaginative picture book with an important message behind it: that every family is different and that is perfectly okay.
