A Family Looks Like Love

by Kaitlyn Wells, Sawyer Cloud (Illustrator)

Overview

A heartening picture book about a young pup who looks different from her siblings and ultimately learns that love, rather than how you look, is what makes a family.


Sutton Button has always looked different from her family. While her siblings had short, stout legs, Sutton's legs were long like noodles. And while her siblings had scruffy, yellow fur, Sutton was a tricolor puppy with soft fur. 
 
But when others don't believe that Sutton and her siblings are actually related, Sutton starts to wonder if she really belongs in her family at all—until she realizes that her and her family are the same in all the most important ways and that love, rather than what you look like, is what makes a family.
 
With heartwarming text and adorable illustrations, A Family Looks Like Love is a story about the enduring power of love and teaches readers that family comes in all shapes and sizes.
