(4) K-3 Illustrated by Teresa Flavin. This book, illustrated with bright, cheerful watercolors, highlights the diversity of the modern American family. The kids in an elementary school classroom describe their family situations--single parent, nuclear, extended family, gay parents, adoptive families, and more. Although the book is didactic, teachers and parents will find it useful as a discussion-starter.
