***This book features many different families that reflect the diverse nature of families in Australia today. e.g. modern nuclear, single parent, multi-racial, blended and same-sex parent families. We realise that having the latter families in the book may mean it would not be used in some settings, such as faith-based educational settings or services. To ensure all children have access to this book, we have provided an alternate version here.

All eBooks, downloadable (printable) versions of the book, and online educational materials are free. You can also order royalty-free, professionally printed books.
