About the Book The question of what constitutes a family is a recurring one for both adults and children. This lively book for children and their adult caretakers demonstrates that families come in a variety of configurations and colors. Portraying a traditional family, a grandmother head of household, single parent, mixed race, and same sex parents, Five Fabulous Families emphasizes that, despite how different families may look on the surface, at their core they are the same. The children are learning to be good adults and the adults, through their love and caring, help their children on their way. Five Fabulous Families is recommended for both home and classroom use. It is engaging, interactive, and inclusive.
