Examines different kinds of families, including a nuclear family, extended family, and adoptive family, and describes the interpersonal relationships that make them function
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Upbeat, easily read portraits of six types of families-- nuclear, extended, adoptive (not really a parallel category), single-parent, blended, and foster families--lightened with dialogue and illustrative incidents (e.g., Jose's adjustment to sharing his room with an uncle). This serviceable, textbook-like introduction with cheerful low-budget illustrations and sturdy format is much less wide-ranging than Jenness's Families (1990), but is more easily read. What Is a Family? (a companion volume) uses the same characters to reiterate much of the same information, expanding somewhat on the concepts of conflict and sharing. Glossary; index.
