This is a beautiful look into diverse families throughout a town. This is a great book for everyone.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

This is a gorgeous little book promoting diversity within different family units and encouraging discussions about family make-up with children. The bright, colourful pictures are engaging and it covers all sorts of different families including disability, LGBTQ, fostering and adoption. Definitely one I could see us using in school to discuss diversity with the children.

All the Families in My Town is a beautiful book. Full of inclusivity and heart. The illustrations are absolutely wonderful.

AHHHHHHH TAKE ALL MY MONEY.
Is it just me or picture books are just nailing it lately?!

Here's another perfect little bundle of love and diversity in all its shapes and shades.
Aria lives in a tiny village with only nine houses. In each one of them lives a family and they're all different from one another.
Aria has two beautiful happy moms and next door lives a dad with four lovely children and their house always has snacks! There's a dad who used to be a girl when he was young, before he chose to be his true self; there's a couple who is happy just as it is and sometimes babysits for a foster family and so much more!

The illustrations are warm and loving and full of life and I'd expect nothing less from Ariane Caldin. The text is lovely and so inclusive and welcoming.
My kid will hold this book in their hands and I'll read it to them over and over again <3

Review to come late August/closer to the release date on blog/goodreads/etc..

I received this book from Netgalley/publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I recently finished a book in Dutch named Binnen bij de buren (My neighbours in my building/Visiting my neighbours, unsure which translation works best, haha) which had a little girl living on the 7th floor tell us about her neighbours, which I absolutely loved. So when I saw this book on Netgalley featuring the same-ish premise just now with a town? I just had to have it. Plus, that cover was just too pretty. 

And this book just made me cry so much. Because it is inclusive, it is beautiful, it is wonderful. It features families of all forms. Not just m/f with kids but also f/f and kids, or a single dad. There is even a dad who is trans and how that was written was just beautifully done. And then that older couple on the hill? I loved that one, because that is me and my husband in many many years. At least I hope so. We don't want any kids (mostly for health reasons). Just want to be together.  And so we see that each house in this little town has a special family living there. Everyone has their beautiful happy lives, and I am just so happy that kids these days get to read books like this. That kids get to see that there is not one family, but that there are countless ways of being a family. These are the books we need more of. That need to be showed prominently. 

The art was just superdupermegaepically wonderful. Really, that style was just beautiful. I love the colours used (mostly yellow/orange/brownish with splashes of blue/green and bits of others). I am definitely going to see if this illustrator has more works~

All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone. Read it!

All the Families in My Town is absolutely adorable. The art is gorgeous and will capture any young child's attention. I love the way that the authors showcased so many different families. Having the different families and homes shown from a perspective of a child makes it so much more accessible. The representations were really well done and thoughtful. I think it is a great way to start conversations about different families without tokenizing or othering marginalized communities.

I loved the activity in the back and the conversation starters to help younger kids understand what other families look like. Overall, just an adorable read and perfect for any elementary classroom teacher. It could really help students understand and accept peers who come from families that look different than theirs.

All the Families in My Town contained diverse families, from a child with two moms and another with a transgender man as a father. Others have blended families, and others don't have children. There was great representation of races and disabilities. The illustrations were flowy and lovely.

Absolutely loved this book and it's inclusivity of many different families and explain at a child's level how they are different cannot wait to buy this book and add to little free libraries.

Wow. This book has truly taken my breath away, I am so stunned by how beautiful it is.

I hope this book finds its way onto every bookshelf in every classroom and library in the world. There were tears in my eyes the entire way through reading this because it is just so important.

Some of the simplest sentences in here touched my heart and it absolutely bursts with the thought of young children reading this or having it read to them; seeing themselves within the pages or learning about families that look differently to them.

This is what the world needs. Acceptance and understanding and celebration of what makes us different but also what brings us together.

The art style is beyond stunning, the writing and the story are truly so lovely. I already want to read it again!

Thank you so much to Net Galley and Chouette Publishing, I feel so lucky to have read an arc of this beautiful book.

YES! YES! YES! This book was so good.

We get introduced to all of the different "universes" in the neighborhood. Every family in the neighborhood has a unique aspect to it. I think this is a great introduction to children about different family dynamics. Every family is different and to let children know that at a young age is so important. I think this book does a very tactful job at that. I think it will bring about great conversations between families and children.

A really sweet children’s book. The illustrations were perfection. Loved the stories of each family. Would recommend without doubt
