From Booklist:

PreS-Gr. 2. In a lively celebration of families in all their diversity and connections, this full-color photo-essay shows loving families across the world having fun together, eating, working, praying, teaching, learning, playing, and more. On each spacious double-page spread, photos of several smiling families are shown side by side, labeled simply with the name of the country in which they live--Bangladesh, Slovakia, Philippines, Jordan, Portugal, Kenya, Israel, the U.S. The beautiful front cover photo shows an interracial family in the U.S.; the back cover is a shot of a father and daughter on a beach in Brazil. There are lots of hugs, kisses, and smiles in homes that range from rich to poor, and the families are single-parent, extended, and adoptive (no same-sex parents). A few of the kids pictured are disabled. A final big, clear map shows the many countries where the photos were taken--the global unity of the human family. A portion of the royalties go to SHAKTI, a program of the Global Fund for Children. Hazel Rochman
