The book follows different storylines with simple colorful illustrations such as a kangaroo with a dog in her pouch but also follows some sillier themes like, "It's okay to eat macaroni and cheese in the bathtub". These storylines can be the starting point to ask children if they know anyone like the characters in the book or if they see a character resembling themselves.
