Both written and illustrated by Luque, the book helps young children to see that while families may be comprised in a variety of ways, at the heart of each individual family is the child, loved every bit as much as children from families that may appear more traditional. The illustrations are a combination of child-like stick figures creatively infused with a variety of life-like buttons that make up the faces within the drawing. This is the basis of A Handful of Buttons, a picture book about family diversity by Carmen Parets Luque. There are as many different types of families as there are colors, shapes, and sizes in a handful of buttons. Reviewed by Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite
