Abstract	The goal of this project was to write a children’s book featuring same-sex and interracial families for children to both see themselves represented as well as to expose others to diverse, and increasingly common, family types. The creation of the book was guided by an analysis of the books available at an urban and rural Oregon library system. The book is supported by a literature review on the impacts of same-sex parents, interracial families, and same-sex interracial families on children. In addition, the book is informed by three theoretical frameworks: socioemotional literacy framework, gender schema theory, and critical race theory. The book is aimed at children aged 3 to 7 years old because that is the time period when socioemotional development builds a foundation for understanding, which guides empathy for the rest of the lifespan. Keywords: Children's book, Same-sex, Interracial, Socioemotional literacy
