Summary: This is the most exciting picture book title we’ve published in a while, as it’s our first picture book in Maltese to deal with different family setups and realities. Kamilla is a young hedgehog that has had enough of her family and decides to go looking for another family to live with. In her lookout for a “better” sort of family, she finds out that there’s no “ideal” family but that where there’s love there’s family. She meets inter-racial families, single parent families, same-sex parents, adoptive families, and other family setups. A unique book of its kind, perfect for introducing a complex subject to children gently.
