My Family and Other Families by Richard Edwards-Middleton

This funny and heartwarming tale about friends, family and Ferris wheels, shows lots of different families who are all equal

A book for every family, this story gently shows children that it's wonderfully normal for every family to be different and the things that set us apart can bring us closer.

Liam has just one thing on his mind: making it to the Ferris wheel to use his ticket. There's just time to check out the rest of the funfair, where his friends are playing games, munching popcorn, and going on rides with their families. But when Liam's Ferris wheel ticket goes missing, it's a race against time for him and his friends to find it. Will they make it?

Richard and Lewis are a married couple living in London with their two kids, aged six and three. They became a family through adoption, making them a two Dad family, which they have shared on their Two Dads in London blog (https://twodadsinlondon.com/) and Instagram. Seeing how much their children enjoy and learn through story time inspired them to write a fun, imaginative picture book with an important message behind it: that every family is different and that is perfectly okay.
