Review

Families do indeed come in all sizes, they may have members representing several generations and they can be diverse or similar. The emphasis of this book is that members of a family love and care for each other. Traditional families are complimented by same sex parents, multiracial family members, and extended families.

Rotner's photos are excellent; her depiction of family life is inclusive, happy and accepting. The large print text is great for early readers who will want to peruse these pages over and over as they sound out the words. This book needs to be on every public library shelf and should have an honored place on families' coffee tables.

Overall Book Score: very good
