Bookroo's summary

Discover the vibrant world of modern families through the eyes of young children. This picture book, filled with vivid photographs, celebrates the diversity of family structures. From single parents to extended families, and adopted to biological children, each family is unique yet bound by love. How do these families reflect your own? Dive into a heartwarming exploration that encourages young readers to appreciate the many forms of family life.

From the publisher

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.
