This is almost the direct human counterpart to my book Love in the Wild, even starting with the same “Love is…” It celebrates love through everyday acts of kindness, compassion, and togetherness.

The book highlights diverse families through the illustrations only, as there is no need to mention different types of families in the text. It doesn’t matter who is in a family because it is love that makes a family a family.

From Katy's list on celebrating diverse families.

Love Makes a Family is simply wonderful. It affirms the message that the definition of family transcends any formula or normative expectation. What defines a family is the love that is shared between the people in it. The book doesn’t preach and it doesn’t lecture. It simply focuses on love and, quite frankly, we need more of that kind of message in the world.

From Thomas' list on about LGBTQ+ families.
