A lack of representation of diverse families in children's books can affirm insecurities and contribute to a sense of "otherness". This study reports on the representation of family diversity in award-listed Australian children's picture books. A critical theoretical framework was employed to analyse both texts and images. This study found a lack of diverse family structures in children's books, especially LGBTIQA+, foster, step and blended families. This paper argues that to ensure inclusive and equitable literacy learning opportunities for all, educators need to go beyond award-listed books when selecting books for early literacy environments.
