Families Around the World

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jessica Rae Gordon. This picture book presents a collection of brief profiles of families around the world. Simple text and bright illustrations in mixed media, including cut-paper collage, make the various child narrators accessible and friendly. Devoting each spread to a different family and country allows for great diversity but limits the depth of information, and some of the text feels repetitive. Suggested activities are appended. Glos.
