Summary: Dad & Daddy is the story of Mia, who has two dads at her house, just like some houses have a mom and a dad...or maybe just a mom. The book is an educational platform for children to help them understand that every family is different, but is loved the same. The book answers questions about naming parents--Dad and Daddy--and demonstrates how this family is just like any other, and that there are many ways to build a family as long as love lives at the center.

D'où je viens ? : le petit livre pour parler de toutes les familles
by Serge Hefez and Stephanie Duval
illus. by Isabelle Maroger
Language: French
[Montrouge] : Bayard jeunesse, 2019.
1 vol. : color illustrations ; 21 cm.
ISBN: 9791036305344
Summary: Un enfant sans parents, ça n'existe pas ! Et pour chaque enfant sa famille est unique. Dans un monde en mouvement, la famille au 21e siècle évolue. Le schéma traditionnel papa/maman/enfant n'est plus le seul cas de figure... D'autres modèles existent : famille monoparentale, famille recomposée, famille homoparentale, famille adoptive, famille d'accueil... Chaque enfant vit des situations différentes. L'émancipation féminine, l'accroissement des divorces, la procréation médicalement assistée... ont transformé la structure familiale et les liens de filiation, et par conséquent, l'ensemble des familles qui composent la société.

Barn i regnbågsfamiljer
Barn i regnbågsfamiljer
by Karolina Schubert; Johanna Hermann Lundberg; Anneli Nygårds
Language: Swedish
Rönninge : Spegel, 2011.
41 s. : illustrations ; 23 cm.
ISBN: 9789197961806 ; 9197961809
Summary: Den här boken är tänkt att användas som sagobok, läromedel och faktabok. Alla barn har rätt att få sin värld speglad. I den här boken speglar vi barn som lever i regnbågsfamiljer. De här barnen speglas inte i den traditionella bokhyllan där kärnfamiljen är ett dominant inslag. Alla, barn som vuxna, kommer att lära sig något. I boken finns fakta för stora och fakta för små. Detta i kombination med en liten berättelse från olika familjekonstellationer. Vi frågar också: "vad är en familj?", "vad är en förälder?" och "hur ser din familj ut?". Vårt projekt syftar till att synliggöra regnbågsfamiljer och lyfta upp ämnet till en levande diskussion bland barn och vuxna. Regnbågsfamiljerna är som vilken familj som helst, även om de består av andra föräldrakonstellationer. I Sverige är biologi väldigt viktigt, men biologi är inte allt. Biologi är inte lika med familj.
