Talk about it together

Choose a page to look at. Who is in this family? What do you notice about the people in this family? (Hair color, eye color, skin color..what they're wearing, what they're doing.) How is this family similar or different to yours? To other families you know? What do you think this family was doing before this moment? What do you think they'll do after? Try choosing another page and answering the questions again!
