(3) K-3 Illustrated by Qin Leng. This sweet celebration of all kinds of households opens with a teacher asking students to describe their families. From there, each spread is devoted to a different child's unique family; we see lots of siblings, single children, same-sex parents, divorced parents, interracial parents, a foster family, and more. Leng's digitally painted ink drawings are lively and appealing, casually reflecting the cast's diversity.
