The Family Book is a 2003 children's picture book written and illustrated by Todd Parr that details the daily lives of all kinds of families.[1] Each unique family structure is depicted with vivid illustrations that complement the book’s themes of family diversity and inclusivity.[2] The book has been adopted in various educational settings as a teaching tool to normalize the acceptance of various family forms.[3] The Family Book has been challenged repeatedly and has sparked controversy in certain regions due to its inclusion of same-sex marriages as a family structure in the book.[4][5]
