FAMILIES CAN

Brooke Smart Dan Saks

Second in a trio of family-themed board books by Dan Saks
A rhyming, light-hearted celebration of the wonderful differences that make each family unique.

This charmingly heartfelt board book is for families: families who cook together and families who sing together, families with lots of members and families with a special few, families who live together and families who live separately--for all families. Celebrate the differences that make each family unique and the similarities and love that connect us all together.

A celebration of the myriad permutations of [family]... recognize[s] each family's circumstances, interests, and activities as unique strengths - neither right nor wrong, just different. "Your family's a story / That's unique and true. / A family is beautiful, / As beautiful as you." Can't argue with that!
