About the Book

Families come in all shapes and sizes—and love is what makes them whole. Lucy-roo and Family Too! by Rachel Holdsworth (Mascot Books, March 7, 2023) is a heartwarming story about family, acceptance, and belonging. Lucy-roo, a cheerful puppy, has two caring mommies and two playful sister kitties. Life feels perfect until a trip to the park raises doubts in Lucy-roo’s mind about whether her family counts without a daddy.

Luckily, Lucy-roo’s best friend, a wise old wiener dog named Turbo, helps her see that family isn’t defined by appearances, but by the love that binds them together. With charming illustrations that highlight Lucy-roo’s adventures and gentle message, this picture book reassures children from diverse family structures that their families are just as real and special as anyone else’s.

Perfect for family reading time, classrooms, or libraries, Lucy-roo and Family Too! sparks meaningful conversations about inclusivity, love, and acceptance. Whether kids live with one parent, two moms, two dads, grandparents, or any unique arrangement, this story celebrates the truth that every family is valid and beautiful.
