All Kinds of Families

This resource discusses how family units can come in many configurations but all are families and each one is special and unique. It shows that family members can differ in age, culture, traditions, last names, and even addresses, and that there can be a mom and a dad, same-sex parents, or single parents. The book also includes the ideas of adoption, marriage, and death as factors that cause families to change over time. This book, suitable for K-4, provides opportunities for students to think about their own family, reflect on the many types of family, and supplement a study of family and personal identity.
