This is what the Publisher has to say…
In You’ll Be a Wonderful Parent, Jasper Peach provides a practical and emotional guide for LGBTIGA+ families around the arrival of a new baby.
Becoming a parent is already a challenging time, even more so if you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream parenting resources, culture or even language. But alphabet soup families are also in the unique position of being able to intentionally build their own family structure and create an environment of huge love and belonging for their children. This little book holds the reader’s hand through the journeys of both birth and non-birth parents, with advice on everything from dealing with other’s definitions of your family, to finding the right medical care and communities, and of course making sure that you take a lot of naps before the baby is born.
A beautifully illustrated hardback full of warmth and personality, You’ll Be a Wonderful Parent is unlike any other book on the market in its inclusive and celebratory approach to queer parenting, and there is something for everyone to learn from the values and experiences of rainbow families. It is the perfect book for new or expecting parents of all descriptions.

Hey there, it’s Cath Hak from Sex Ed Rescue! Today, I want to talk about a super important book called You’ll Be a Wonderful Parent. Now, it’s not your typical sex education book, but it’s definitely a must-read for parents, especially those in rainbow families.
This book is all about providing advice and encouragement for all kinds of rainbow families, including those who identify as LGBTQA+. It’s inclusive and celebrates the diversity within these families. Plus, it’s an Australian gem!
The book covers a lot of ground. It starts off by addressing the question of how to start a family. Where do you get the egg? Where do you get the sperm? And where does it all come together? It’s a great resource for understanding the process and navigating the journey of creating a family.
But it doesn’t stop there. The book also dives into pregnancy and how to manage it in a way that respects and supports your unique family. It discusses birthing options and empowers you to make informed choices.
And let’s not forget about parenting! Once your little one arrives, you’ll face new challenges. The book offers guidance on raising a child who feels included, celebrated, and proud of the diversity within their family and the world around them. It’s all about fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance.
I can’t stress enough how important this book is for starting those meaningful conversations with your kids. It’s a valuable resource that will help you navigate the sometimes tricky terrain of sex education and family dynamics.
So, if you’re looking for a book that supports and empowers rainbow families, You’ll Be a Wonderful Parent is a must-have. I hope you find this review helpful. Cheers!
