is, but she doesn’t know much about what it is like to have a father.
When Karla plays with her dolls, she plays family with a mother and children. In the nursery, the same play is called ‘playing house’ with a family with a father, mother and children. That is a fun game too, but Karla never wants to be the father–she wants to be the baby or the mother.

Karla Plays House is a children's book about the new types of families, which have come about with the help of a sperm donor. And it is about growing up in a family without a father. The book can be read as a sequel to Where is Karla's Dad? The book targets children aged 3-6 years.
