Illustrated by
Holly Swain.
This is a great resource for finding poems on a wide range of family configurations, lifestyles, interactions, and even family pets. The diverse collection includes works from poets such as Janet S. Wong, Rudyard Kipling, X. J. Kennedy, Aileen Fisher, and Eloise Greenfield. Swain's simple, whimsical black-and-white illustrations are reminiscent of Shel Silverstein's work. Indexes of poets and of first lines are appended.
