Board book
Roof to roof, Federico the cat visits all his families everyday: Tadeo and his grandparents, Anna and her two Moms; Virginia, with her Mom and Dad, Paula and her two Dads… All of them different, all of them loved by Federico. Unconditionally.
This little jewel is perfect to show the smallest of the house that love can be found in any family. By author and compromised activist for diversity Mili Hernández and illustrator Gómez.
Mili Hernández is a well-known activist for LGTBQ rights. She is a bookseller in Berkana bookstore, a milestone for diversity in Spain. She is also an editor and founder of EGALES, an publishing house born in 1995, specialized in LGTBQ literature. Federico and All His Families is her first children's book.
Gómez studied Fine Arts in Salamanca, Spain. A new talent, she has worked for several publishing houses in Europe, such as SM in Spain, Le Petit Bulles Edition in France, and Scholastics and Sterling in the USA. She has published with NubeOcho Bow-Wow-Meow, Daniela the Pirate and the collection Hedgehog and Rabbit, among others.
By focusing on Federico and his activities, and presenting the families in a simple and matter-of-fact way, the book neatly avoids being preachy. The humorous and expressive illustrations carry as much weight as the text, for it is in the illustrations that readers see the racial composition of the different families, while also inviting readers to reach their own conclusions, for example: Are some single-parent families? Adopted families? The original Spanish text, Federico y sus familias, publishes simultaneously. Sweet and inclusive, perfect for any family. (Board book. 2-4)--- Kirkus
