Every family is different. Every family is special.

Josie loves her family. Her mum, dad, brothers and sister - they're all the best and they all look different.

But people always seem to ask Josie "Is that YOUR mama?", and soon she starts to wonder if her family are actually supposed to look the same.

When Josie shares her worries with her family, they find a way to help her see what truly matters.
