Review
"Vibrant photographs—especially action shots—will capture children's attention, build language skills, and, one hopes, start conversations."—Kirkus Reviews
"Winsome, clear photographs are accompanied by brief, large-font text. This celebration of differences is further enhanced by the inclusion of women in head scarves, a dad in a wheelchair, and multigenerational groupings. . . . A great way to introduce the concept of diversity among families."—School Library Journal
"This book emphasizes the importance of a strong family narrative formed through conversations between family members across generational lines. Illustrating the book with Rotner's always-amiable color photographs of families . . . strengthens this emphasis and showcases the diversity of experiences in contemporary family structures."—The Horn Book Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars Culturally Diverse Family Book!
This is an amazing book that highlights families of all kind. I love that there is page after page of families that look like my own and DON'T look like my own so that my child can see families that are all different. The photographs are beautiful and I love that they were able to incorporate families from all cultures, races, and sexes!
5.0 out of 5 stars Every young child should read this
I am so happy someone wrote this book! I am an only parent and my son gets very upset when other kids throw in his face that he “doesn’t have a dad.” He didn’t even want to read the book when he saw it said families. But once we started reading, and he saw a picture showing just One parent and a child, he smiled big, pointed and said, “they have a picture that’s the family I have!” Fabulous to reassure children and show them they are Not different in a bad way, it’s not a bad thing. And so good to educate other children that different isn’t bad! It’s a very simple book, could have a little more to it but I am very happy it exists. It would be great if teachers shared it in their kindergarten/1st grade rooms!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
the pictures, the stories, the cultures. Love them all!! This should be added to every library.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very diverse book
I got this book to show the children in my class the different families that are out there. It’s a very simple book but can definitely spark conversations about families.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
I use this book with my first graders - it shows great photographs of all kinds of families (large, small, mixed races, same-sex parents, etc.). It's a perfect addition to our collection of family books.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great photos
Very preschool. Good images with a wide variety of individuals and combinations of families from handicapped individuals, to redheads, to people of color, to mixed families. I would recommend to ages 2-5.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!
This book arrived in perfect shape, just discarded from a library. It was on time and is my absolute favorite book representing all types of families with real photographs. Highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
The words aren't all small kid friendly so I think the adult has to read it. Good conversation starter and mind expander. My niece liked it and learned a lot.
This is a great book about families
Loved the photos
Real pictures of all kinds of families!
Wonderful book. I truly recommend. My toddler loves to explore the images and it has been helpful to understand diversity in all senses!
Affirmative book on diverse families
