And Tango makes three, by Justin Richardson
A true story about a penguin couple in the zoo. Despite their love they couldn't have a baby of their own - because they were both boys. Finally they were given an egg to adopt, and became a very happy family. A beautiful story to ease into a discussion about having two fathers, or to discuss adoption, or simply to enjoy as a lovely story!

Motherbridge of love
Both adoptive and birth mother feature in this anonymous poem to a lively chinese girl. The illustrations are flowing and stylised, and create a beautiful book for sharing with any child.

Our Twitchy, by Kes Gray
Milfoil the cow and Sedge the horse decide to tell Twitchy they are not his real mum and dad, even though they all eat carrots and live in a burrow just like an ordinary rabbit family.

We belong together, by Todd Parr
Beautifully simple, heart-warming explanation of how an adopted child came to be with their new family. As ever with Todd Parr every type of family can expect to see themselves in his refreshingly diverse illustrations. A joy to read, and an author to look out for.
