Product Description
Family is important, but who's in a family? Why, the people who love you the most!This equal opportunity, open-minded picture book has no preconceptions about what makes a family a family. There's even equal time given to some of children's favorite animal families. With warm and inviting jewel-tone illustrations, this is a great book for that long talk with a little person on your lap.

Format:Paperback
This book describes different types of families: single parents, lesbian and gay parents, grandparent carers, step families and multi-race families. These are interspersed with different types of animal families. The implicit message is that all are normal constructions, without labouring the point. It includes a section at the back for children to draw a picture of their family members.
Probably most appropriate for 5-8yrs.
It will hold attention because the script is brief and the illustrations are beautiful.

An American title, with illustrations that I find quite old-fashioned in appearance. However, the subject matter of the book is modern, looking at all kinds of families, showing that no one type of family is "normal" or "right". So there are families of different ethnic origins, single parent families, lesbian/gay-parented families, only-child families, step-families etc. Animal families are used as illustrative comparisons too. There's even space to add pictures/drawings of your own family set-up.
As the book says: "Who's in a family? The people who love you the most!"
I like this book for being inclusive & accepting, without being heavy-handed in any way.

May aswell be a leaflet for all the detail it goes in to.I bought this book thinking it would be a good read for me to read to my son who is 6 and from a previous relationship,but brought up by his step dad and i,for when our new baby is born to help him understand about different types of families.This book is very basic and aimed at a child of maybe 2 years old.
