This was a lovely introduction to the LGBTQIA+ community for both parents and children. It did a great job of being inclusive and the illustrations included a lot of diversity. 

It did a really good job of including different families including step parents and found family. However, there was a lot of information thrown at you in such a short book which could be overwhelming.

For me, it didn't work as a story necessarily but would work really well as a reference book. Something that parents or children could use to learn about different family units, or be used as a teaching aid when discussing families in a school environment. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the advance copy of the book

Absolutely gorgeous artwork. It is double page illustrations which means there is loads of stuff to look at and discover. I spotted something new every time I read through it. 

The story takes you through various museum exhibitions and gives an easy to digest historical fact on each time period. 

This is a lift-the-flap type book which is usually aimed at younger children. This one is aimed at 3-6 and is very suitable for that age range. My 7 year old niece would love this book. 

Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, for the advance reading copy.

This was a solid sequel that developed the characters, their relationships and built on themes presented in the first book. 

It is a gentle read. The story is wholesome and fluffy though a bit frustrating at times. The miscommunication between Kohei and Taichi gets increasingly annoying as neither of them take the initiative to talk to one another. 

I preferred the first volume and probably won't pick up the rest if the series.
