Synopsis

A heartening picture book, adpated for audio, 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 prose, A Family Looks Like Love is a story about the enduring power of love and teaches listeners that family comes in all shapes and sizes.

Goodreads review by Alliah on May 04, 2022

I loved the message of this sweet book! It’s the perfect analogy for the way genetics dish themselves out differently across family members, and the identity-driven conflicts that sometimes result. The narrator’s voice was very distinct- for some reason I felt like it was being read by Julie Andrews......more

Goodreads review by Gabriele on May 07, 2022

A heartfelt story about the true meaning of family: It’s not whether we match on the outside; it’s the love that we feel on the inside. Growing up in a mixed-race family in the 1960s & 70s, I was 13 when I first encountered a picture book with a family that looked like mine. And many many years passe......more
