“The Great Big Book of Families”
written by Mary Hoffman
and pictures by Ros Asquith
‘What is a family?
Once, it was said to be a father, mother, boy, girl, cat and dog living in a house with a garden. But as times have changed, families have changed too, and now there are almost as many kinds of families as colors of the rainbow: from a mom and dad or single parent to two mums or two dads, from a mixed-race family to children with different moms and dads, to families with a disabled member.
Mary Hoffman, the author of “Amazing Grace”, takes a look through children’s eyes at the wide varieties of family life: from homes, food, ways of celebrating, schools and holidays to getting around, jobs and housework, from extended families, languages and hobbies to pets and family trees – and she concludes that, for most people, their own family is the best one of all! With Ros Asquith’s delightful pictures, this book takes a fresh, optimistic look at families of today.’
