Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: No matter your size, shape, or pedigree--if you love each other, you are a family!
Moms, dads, sisters, brothers â and even Great Aunt Sue â appear in dozens of combinations, demonstrating all kinds of nontraditional families! Silly animals are cleverly depicted in framed portraits, and offer a warm celebration of family love.
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1âImagine a house with many rooms, whose walls each have a different color or wallpaper, accenting a family portrait hanging there. On a rustic wooden wall hangs the first portraitâa large family of ducks posing beside a still pond. The next spread shows three pandas in pink vests, much like the pink oriental wallpaper behind them. Each portrait features a gently rhyming line: "Some children live with their grandparentsâ¦/and some live with an aunt./Some children have many petsâ¦/and some just have a plant." All of these appealing images demonstrate different ways of being a family. "Some children live with their father./ Some children have two mothers./Some children are adopted./Some have stepsisters andâbrothers." The cartoon-style critters contrast pleasantly with more realistic elementsâa bamboo plant, a slender ceramic dog, a fat ceramic cat. Families of hippos, tigers, lions, ostriches, and whales join the other family groups in the final spread. The loud-and-clear message is that "if you love each other, then you are a family." And imagine the many children who will be reassured because they have found a portrait of a family they will recognize as their own. A solid choice for most libraries.âMary Jean Smith, formerly at Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN
