The end foldout section is wonderfully diverse in both living styles and people with a range of family make up both explicit and implied (inc nuclear, blended, older caregivers and suggestions of LGBTQ+ families), body positivity, disabled representation and ethnicities- it’s great to celebrate the way we all make a home.

As someone who enjoys peeping through other people’s windows when I’m on the top level of a bus, or when the lights start coming on in the evening, one of my favourite spreads was the double fold-out page at the end which let me peek inside all the houses in the street. The book takes you through a journey of a day in the life of a family in the different rooms of a typical home.

I first learned of this book after seeing a YouTube video of Harry Styles in his pajamas reading it for the BBC (you’re welcome) and it is so cute!

A lovely book that could be read to any class around the world to stem conversations about homes, family and traditions in cultures!
