Eddie Ellington and the Family Dance is a picture book celebrating all types of families.

Eddie Ellington and his little sister have two moms. When their school announces a "Daddy-Daughter Dance," Pinky feels sad that she can't go with either of her moms. The siblings set out with their zebra friend, Zeke, to make the event accessible to everyone regardless of gender. Eddie Ellington and the Family Dance celebrates family diversity, encourages self-advocacy, and emphasizes the need for our schools to be inclusive.

Watercolor paintings of toy animals blend the magic of play with the art of storytelling. The illustrations depict the hands of children as they play with and introduce the characters within the story. The rhyming verse is fun to read aloud and is accessible for early readers.
