Hannah Bruner

“If your family isn’t the textbook definition then THIS book is for you. Covering the huge gamut of families out there, Author Hannah Bruner does an incredible job showcasing a huge variety of families and the importance of them in the world. Representation is vital for all of our little ones to feel accepted and valued in this world and this book serves that ever important purpose. I urge any “outside the box” family with littles that are struggling to find their unique identities to purchase this book and add it to their collection. It’s the perfect fit and an even more heart-whelming feeling you’re left with afterwards.”

“First I love this author. I am a teacher and I love creating a safe classroom environment for all students. This is a great book to help you discuss different family dynamics within the classroom. I love the inclusivity as well as the diversity. Definitely a great read!”

“We’re teaching our daughter about adoption. This book is a great way to talk about how families are made all sorts of ways. It’s very simple, inclusive and not specifically about adoption.”

“Our foster kids LOVE this book and we love reading it with them. They feel included, and enjoyed learning about other families.”

“We are preparing to foster next year, and this book has been my 2 year olds favorite. It is awesome to teach her that there are many “different” looking families and all that matters within a family is LOVE. Excellent work.”

“This book is a MUST HAVE for your blended family, classroom, and home! It teaches about inclusion by emphasizing all families come in different shapes & sizes. Not only is the book full of amazing takeaways, but the pictures show LGBTQ+ families and families of Asian, White, Black, and Latinx decent. This is a MUST HAVE!”

“‘What Makes A Family?’ would be a great addition to any classroom library and your personal collection alike. It is so inclusive and I can’t wait to share it with my fellow teachers!”
