Illustrated by
Akemi Gutiérrez.
This bilingual tale transcends its "Flip This Book!" gimmick to provide a sweet, but not overly sappy, take on family resemblances from both father/son and mother/daughter perspectives. The simply composed illustrations depict joyful scenes of everyday life; readers will find affirmations here about their place in a family: "Mom...says that she can see our whole family on my face."
