The Triplets live with their Granny. But she is very old and there is a lot she can't do. She doesn't like the same food or music. She doesn't wear cool clothes. Poor Triplets . . . or are they?

Part of the Rainbow Street Series promoting gender awareness, Granny Frogsbottom is a story that questions whether a grandparent can step into the role of main carer. In modern families, many children will compare themselves to so-called traditional families where the mother and father are both present. But increasingly, grandparents are stepping into the role of parent, either permanently due to family circumstances, or on a regular but temporary basis while both parents are working. The book might also be helpful when discussing the idea of a foster carer, because it isn't only biological parents who can be a loving.

The Rainbow Street books are all aimed at 4- to 6-year-old children, using colourful pictures of animals to tell stories of gender identity. They all share the common theme of acceptance and could equally be used at home and in school to discuss all forms of difference and diversity.

By sharing the Rainbow Street Series of books with young children, the aim is to make gender diversity no big deal and no different to accepting and respecting ethnic diversity, religious diversity and forms of neurodiversity. Stories in the series cover topics ranging from gender identity and adoption by same-sex parents, through to single fatherhood and it being ok to live alone in old age.

As with all of its books, the publisher - Your Stories Matter - aims to help people know they are not alone with what makes them different. If a young person or adult can relate to a story, it gives them hope and encourages them to share their concerns. The publisher aims to provide free teaching resources for all of its books that can be used in schools, to help improve understanding and celebrate differences.
