Stella's class is having a Mother's Day celebration, but what's a girl with two daddies to do? It's not that she doesn't have someone who helps her with her homework, or tucks her in at night. Stella has her Papa and Daddy who take care of her, and a whole gaggle of other loved ones who make her feel special and supported every day. She just doesn't have a mom to invite to the party. Fortunately, Stella finds a unique solution to her party problem in this sweet story about love, acceptance, and the true meaning of family. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.

Family’s come in all shapes and sizes!

Very sweet story about the real childhood worries of having a family that doesn’t fit the ‘norm’. Stella Brings The Family is a wonderful way to introduce or affirm that families come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Love the diversity in this book!

I bought this book for my nursery class along side others to explore different family set ups with our children. They all loved this book and it was nice that there were many different families represented. I would recommend this book for home and school use.

Worth buying to show that queer extended families are just as valid.

Family comes in all shapes and sizes. There is no fixed formula but one common ingredient in all families is LOVE.

A favorite in our family!

My 6-year-old and I both love this book! The story is fabulous, the dialogue is believable, and the characters are realistic. The illustrations are cheerful and fun, they enhance the story, and they depict a diverse group of children and adults. We started reading it when my kiddo was 4, and it's always been one of her favorites.

When Mrs. Abbott announces that they are going to have a special Mother's Day celebration in their class, and each child can invite a special guest, Stella is worried. She has two dads, but no special guest to bring to the Mother's Day celebration. Everyone else has a mother. Howie has two! One by one, the other kids ask Stella who does the things that their moms do - who tucks you in at night, who makes your lunch, etc. When it comes to "who kisses you when you get hurt", Stella responds, "Well, that's a long answer." She then lists all the people who give her hugs and kisses, and the other child says, "why not invite them all?" Stella's dads think that's a great idea, but Stella is still worried. Is it too many people? Will it be ok? She works harder than anyone on her invitation, because there are so many people to include. When the big day arrives, Stella is relieved to find that everything goes wonderfully. At the end of the celebration, Mrs. Abbott is worn out, and Stella reassures her that for Father's Day, she won't bring nearly as many people - just 2! Meanwhile, Howie is walking home with his moms and wondering who he will bring to the Father's Day celebration. :)
