Families, Families, Families
Written by Suzanne Lang, Illustrated by Max Lang

Summary:
No matter your size, shape, or pedigree–if you love each other, you are a family! Moms, dads, sisters, brothers — and even Great Aunt Sue — 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.

Invite students to bring in an image of their family to create a display featuring this book and the many diverse families in the school community.

Questions for Discussions:

• What do you notice about our families?
