Today's diverse world contains many different types of families, and THE FAMILY BOOK celebrates the many permutations of family life in a funny, silly, and reassuring way. This book includes adoptive families, step-families, one-parent families, and families with two parents of the same sex, as well as the "traditional" family of children living with both biological parents. The author's quirky humor and bright, childlike illustrations will make children feel good about their families and relax tensions surrounding issues of cultural diversity in adoptive families.
Parents and teachers can use this book to encourage children to talk about their families and the different kinds of families that exist. Families at different stages of transracial and/or intercountry adoption journeys will doubtless find this book indispensable. However, it also has much to offer to adoptive families that are of "mixed" composition in other ways--for example, those with both adopted and biological children, one child who is adopted and another who is donor conceived, or parents who come from different ethnoracial backgrounds themselves.(Hardcover, Full Color, 32 pages, Ages 3-6, 2003)
