Meet My Family!: Animal Babies and Their Families

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Fizer Coleman. Young animals in a variety of family formats provide brief descriptions of their lives: orangutans frequently move homes, a chinstrap penguin chick has two dads, a rhesus macaque infant is adopted by a dog. This anthropomorphized first-person narrative helps readers recognize situations that may mirror their own experiences. The vibrant digital illustrations' final spread shows a mix of human families. Reading list. Glos.
