Celebrate all families in this inclusive picture book that breaks down gender stereotypes with positive messages for all ages.

Whether a child wears pearls just like their daddy, grills with their mommy, braids hair like their baba, bakes yummy treats with their grandpa, sashays like their zaza, dresses up like their bibi, or decorates their room like their brothers, all families love spending time together! Delight in all that makes a family unique and special—including what makes you you—in this empowering and affirming picture book by the author-illustrator team and queer stationery company, Ash + Chess. BONUS: includes one sheet of vibrant, colorful, celebratory stickers!

Ash + Chess is a stationery & gift company run by queer and trans couple Ashley Molesso (she/her) and Chess Needham (he/him), based in Upstate New York. They create greeting cards, art prints, and more in bold, retro color palettes, often using their artwork to uplift the queer community. Their company made its debut at the National Stationery Show in May 2017, and since then over 700+ retailers throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia sell their art and stationery. In the short time they've been in business, Ash + Chess have worked on many collaborations including artwork for Target, Smartfood, Skittles, Nooworks, Belletrist, Plaza Style, Brooklyn Roasting Co., Transfigure Print Co., HarperCollins, Workman Publishing, Running Press Studio, Macy's STORY, and more. They are the authors of multiple publications, including: The Gay Agenda: A Modern Queer History & Handbook (Morrow Gift) 2020; Queer Tarot: An Inclusive Deck and Guidebook  (RP Studio) 2022; My Queer Year Guided Journal (RP Studio) 2022; ABC-Deconstructing Gender (RP Kids) 2023, and The Big Book of Queer Stickers (RP Studio) 2023.

  • “With a neon palette, this title affirms families in all their diverse splendor beyond the binaries, religious conventions, and expectations that the world has created… reminiscent of Todd Parr’s The Family Book but with an even more expansive representation of family, genders, and roles. Celebrating families who are 'wonderfully different' with gusto, this title will be appreciated by a wide spectrum of readers and their families seeking to live their lives to the fullest expression of their true selves.”
    School Library Journal, starred review
  • “Groovy eye-catching art lends a cheerful retro vibe to this simple but effective ode to intersectionally diverse families…it’s a straightforward look at how close-knit, nonjudgmental support systems ensure that ‘I like to be myself just like... me!’”
    Publishers Weekly
