You Are Loved

Families come in many different shapes and forms, but they all teach you how to be strong and love yourself. Beginning with Down syndrome advocate Sofia Sanchez’s adopted family, readers will meet many different kinds of families: those with two moms and two dads, with single parents, and kids raised by grandparents, guardians, or older siblings. Big families, small families, extended families, blended families, and mixed race families—including parents with their own differences that make them unique, too! This heartwarming companion book to You Are Enough highlights the important message that families aren’t just the people you live with—they are all the people you choose who love you and empower you just the way you are.
