A picture book about the many shapes of family

Using buttons as a way to represent family variety, Carmen Parets Luque introduces young readers to the idea that families can be formed in many different ways. The book names blended and adoptive families, LGBTQ+ parents, single-parent homes, and grandparents raising grandchildren, among others. Its guiding questions—what kinds of families exist, and what makes people a family—give the subject a clear focus on diversity and belonging.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children beginning conversations about different family structures
  • Families and educators seeking a picture book about inclusion and respect

Book overview

"Families are as diverse as a handful of buttons, but the one thing they all have in common is LOVE."

Not all families are the same. Each family is different, unique and special.

A Handful of Buttons is a heartwarming and creative picture book designed to introduce young readers to family diversity. Through a gentle and engaging approach, this story answers two vital questions for children: What types of families are there? And what truly makes them a family?

This book is a wonderfully inclusive pick that proudly showcases:

  • Blended & Stepfamilies

  • Adoptive & Transracial Families

  • LGBTQ+ Parents

  • Single-Parent & Divorced Homes

  • Grandparents raising grandchildren, and more!

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and bedtime reading, this story is the ultimate tool to encourage empathy, kindness, and tolerance towards others from an early age.

Celebrate every kind of family. Click "Buy Now" to get your copy of A Handful of Buttons today!
