“Puhor and Niyor’s Mural of Family Stories” is a story about families, told by twin brothers Puhor and Niyor. It is a story illustrated with images of each unique family added to a grand mural. These different families include children with two moms, two dads, a single mother, a multiracial family unit, foster and adopted children, and more. Not only does it include these different families, but it also shows how they contribute to their community, and why they should be appreciated and valued, not shamed or exiled. It emphasizes the beauty of each of these different families, and how much beauty they can create together. These families teach each other about different types of people, and to not judge others based on their race, gender, sexual identity, disability, differences in background or anything else. They embrace their differences and paint a beautifully coloured mural, as beautiful and colourful as the community itself.
