The key theme running through the book is that every family is different, and that’s OK. It shows traditional mother/father families alongside blended/unconventional ones (such as two-father or two-mother households). It also shows adopted children with their families, and children being cared for by grandparents. The book highlights how different humans are in other ways too, from the hobbies they choose, through to the way they think and what they choose to cook and eat. It covers a wide spectrum of different lifestyles and choices families make: how they take holidays and celebrate together, who goes out to work and who stays at home, who does the cooking and how they dress, spend their leisure time, and get along with each other.

Subjects explored include disability, adoption, working parents, holidays, pets, emotions, celebrations, poverty and racial diversity.
