A heartwarming picture book about adoption, acceptance, and inclusion, A Crocodile in the Family is a children's story about a family of birds who stumble across a lone egg in the Australian bush. After taking it home to care for the egg, they discover it's actually a baby crocodile! The bird family raises the baby crocodile as one of their own, and as their community continues to ask why they keep him, the blended family says the answer is simple. Because he belongs, that's why!

Kitty Black is a children's book author with a background in psychology and education. While her profession required her to speak to people about their feelings, she discovered how important storytelling is in life. As a freelance writer and a mom, she rekindled her love for stories and began writing her own! Her first picture book, Who's Afraid of the Quite Nice Wolf?, was published in 2019, and A Crocodile in the Family is her latest title. She loves traveling to schools in Australia to host talks and workshops, where she shares her wonderful stories with young children and how they can become a writer too!
