All Families Are Special by Norma Simon

4.0

All Families Are Special, a Slice of Life book, features a diverse classroom in which the students take turns sharing what cultural differences are in each of their families. The class realizes that though no tow families are exactly the same, they all share the common principle of love and togetherness. This book would be perfect for class because it compares and contrasts the many types of families. The text offers the perfect balance simple and complex language for younger education. It also offers plenty of opportunities for student interaction and questioning. The author and illustrator did a great job of justly representing their own, as well as the cultural groups they aren’t necessarily members.
