Once again, Hoffman and Asquith explore the diversity of the family unit and, in this book, the many ways that a child can become part of a family, from natural birth within a nuclear family to fostering and adoption.
As in The Great Big Book of Families and The Great Big Book of Feelings, Welcome to the Family manages to convey the complexity of the modern family with humour and sensitivity.
