This book explains that every family is unique, then profiles families from fourteen countries. Each grouping has a different combination of parents, siblings, and other relatives, as well as signature foods, daily activities, and languages. A note at the end contains lesson ideas for teachers and parents, as well as a glossary with a pronunciation guide for "Hello" in each language and descriptions of unusual foods.
While it is unlikely to be picked up by students browsing for an entertaining story, this book would be good for those doing a research project or as a class introduction to diversity appreciation.
EL -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
