Families

I got this book to show the children in my class the different families that are out there. It’s a very simple book but can definitely spark conversations about families.

The words aren't all small kid friendly so I think the adult has to read it. Good conversation starter and mind expander. My niece liked it and learned a lot.

This is an amazing book that highlights families of all kind. I love that there is page after page of families that look like my own and DON'T look like my own so that my child can see families that are all different. The photographs are beautiful and I love that they were able to incorporate families from all cultures, races, and sexes!

I am so happy someone wrote this book! I am an only parent and my son gets very upset when other kids throw in his face that he “doesn’t have a dad.” He didn’t even want to read the book when he saw it said families. But once we started reading, and he saw a picture showing just One parent and a child, he smiled big, pointed and said, “they have a picture that’s the family I have!” Fabulous to reassure children and show them they are Not different in a bad way, it’s not a bad thing. And so good to educate other children that different isn’t bad! It’s a very simple book, could have a little more to it but I am very happy it exists. It would be great if teachers shared it in their kindergarten/1st grade rooms!

I use this book with my first graders - it shows great photographs of all kinds of families (large, small, mixed races, same-sex parents, etc.). It's a perfect addition to our collection of family books.

Very preschool. Good images with a wide variety of individuals and combinations of families from handicapped individuals, to redheads, to people of color, to mixed families. I would recommend to ages 2-5.

Great book to introduce children to the many kinds of families there are and what we all have in common

the pictures, the stories, the cultures. Love them all!! This should be added to every library.

Loved the photos

Wonderful book. I truly recommend. My toddler loves to explore the images and it has been helpful to understand diversity in all senses!

Liked the photographs showing the many shapes and sizes of families.
