Tully's Great BIG Family

By Krista Schade

Tully may be a small girl, but she has a very BIG family, and this heartwarming children's book celebrates every wonderful member of it

Meet Tully, who lives with her mum and mum's friend Quentin, a fabulous "Queen" who calls Tully the "Princess" when they practice singing and dancing in the lounge room.

She also spends time with her dad, his partner Jenna (a doctor), and her baby brother, Theo, who Jenna lovingly calls her "Bub."

Tully's family is wonderfully diverse and spans continents

She has Pop Joe, who lives on a farm with his beloved dogs, Bonnie and Roy, and calls Tully every week.

She gained a new granny, Amy, when Granny Vi and Amy had a wedding in the park.

She video calls with her great-grandparents who live in another country, thanks to Mina (wife of Grandpa Grumpy), who wears beautiful saris.

She also gets taken to the river by Nan Blanche (Jenna's mum) along with all the other kids.

Tully's family also includes her "Aunty Suzie," who is her mum's best friend, and Suzie and Tom's six noisy kids who jump on the chairs.

This beautifully illustrated book showcases the boundless nature of family and love, proving that it doesn't matter how small you are, or how your family is structured-what truly matters is being loved by everyone in your very BIG family.

A perfect book for every child, Tully's Great Big Family is a tender, joyous celebration of modern, blended, diverse families and the many ways we find connection and love.
