The common theme among these books is exploring different family structures, specifically those that deviate from the traditional nuclear family. Many of the books focus on LGBTQ+ families and their experiences navigating society's expectations and prejudices. Additionally, there are books that explore the role of gender in family dynamics and how it impacts parenting. Some of the books provide guidance and advice for parents on how to support their LGBTQ+ children or build strong relationships outside of traditional family structures. Overall, these books aim to broaden our understanding and acceptance of diverse families.
