According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2019), approximately half of U.S. children come from nontraditional families, such as those with divorced parents, multiracial families, one-parent families, and families with same-sex parents. Although family structures have diversified dramatically (Powell et al., 2010), the traditional family remains the norm in schools and in children's literature (Goldberg, 2010). By sharing episodes of young children's authentic conversations about diverse families, the authors provide an expanded vision of early literacy education as a medium for social justice, equality, and transformation.
