About this ebook
Explores in words and pictures what a family is and how families vary in makeup and styles.
In a book far ahead of its time, All Kinds of Families celebrated the broad diversity of American families when it was first published in 1976. Now Norma Simon and Sarah S. Brannen have updated this classic for the modern age. Multicultural and multigenerational people demonstrate what being in a family means and how all families offer each other support and love.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought this book was an interesting read. I liked the book because of the plot and the illustrations. The plot was informative and interesting. It described all the different kinds of families that exist. These descriptions make it so that the reader can find their own family situation somewhere in the book and relate to it. The author writes, "Families come in all sizes. Big families, middle sized families, and little families." I also loved that there were real letters between family members integrated into the illustrations. One image shown was a letter that wrote, "Dear Amy, I wish we could get together more often." These letters allowed the reader to connect to the families shown in the book. The message I took from this reading is that all families are unique and special.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book. I liked that it described different types of families like big, medium, and small families as well as young children, teenager children, and children who are grown up. I also liked the illustrations in the book because it showed what different families do together for fun. Some like to travel and other like to dance around the Christmas tree. The big idea is that there are all types of families.
