(4) K-3 Looking Glass Library: My Family series. Illustrated by Zoe Persico. Second-grade class photographer Lenny shadows six "Students of the Week," observing each child's home life and candidly photographing the diverse, cheery families. The formulaic stories each attempt to underscore the all-kind-of-families series premise, but readers may be confused about some story elements (e.g., Lenny's presumed mom is occasionally pictured but isn't identified in the text). Smiling, wide-eyed characters populate the cartoonish illustrations. Review covers these Looking Glass Library: My Family titles: My Adopted Family, My Blended Family, My First-Generation Family, My Single Dad, My Single Mom, and My Special Needs Family.
