Big or small, similar or different-looking, there are all kinds of families. Celebrate diversity with this picture book for very young children about the many faces of contemporary families. Bright photographs by National Geographic photographer Shelley Rotner capture families having fun together, enjoying all the ways they are similar and different. Some families have one parent, and some have two; some have aunts and uncles and grandparents living with them. Some have adopted children, some have children born to them. Whether they live all together or far apart, families love and care for each other. Designed to showcase the wide variety of modern families and spur discussions about young readers' own family history, this beautiful picture book is a must-have for children beginning to learn about the world and the people around them. Review: Culturally Diverse Family Book! - 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! Review: Every young child should read this - 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!

Wonderful
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.

Excellent!
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.

Great photos
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.
