Review
In rhyming sing-along text, to the tune of "Ten little indians" this book celebrates that though families throughout the world may be different in their cultures, their skin color, their religion, and on myriad other levels, families are also much the same. Mommies and daddies are loving, wise, playful, strong. They provide loving homes for their children, be they stick-built, apartments, mobile homes or even teepees. This is a joyful book that will instill in children the fact that we are diverse on so many levels but much the same on the most important level. We are loving families. We are truly a universal, global family. The illustrations are very soft, pastel, and show the varied, multi-cultural families that people the earth and the different environments and homes in which we live. This will make a good read-aloud or sing-along choice.
Overall Book Score: very good
