Every family is different by Maureen Eppen
Ill. by Veronica Rooke. Serenity Press, 2018. ISBN 9780648230465
(Age: 4+) Highly recommended. Themes: Families. Difference. "Who's
in your family? Some children live with their mum and dad, others
live with their grandparents or foster parents. Some live in a big
house, others live in a tiny apartment. With captivating
illustrations, Every family is different celebrates what it
means to be part of a family, and reminds us that there's something
that's always the same in every family." (Publisher)
This picture book talks about the differences between families and
that every family is different but that is ok. It is written in a
very positive manner. The illustrations in this book work well with
the text. The illustrations are bold and they help make this book a
good book to use with young children to start talking about the
different families people live in and that there is no one right
type of family.
I highly recommend this book for any family. A student
resource is available from the publisher.
