Meet My Family! Animal Babies and Their Families

Meet My Family!
Animal Babies and Their Families
Meet My Family cover

Every family’s different. Each family is just right!

Do you ever feel like your family is…weird? Different? Embarrassing? So many kids feel that way, and here’s a book to reassure them that all kinds of families can work just fine. Meet animal babies who are only children or one of a ton. Who are raised by one parent, two parents, or a whole herd of women. Who take care of themselves or have grown-ups who take care of them.  Charming rhyming text and engaging illustrations introduce the family lives of 23 species (including humans). In-depth backmatter gives lots more details in this book celebrating diverse families.

SEPTEMBER NEWS

Whee! It's fall, the time of fresh starts. I'm busy working with a web designer to redesign my site--yikes. That's a big project. But I started off the month with a family visit in Florida, which was great. Now I'm prepping for a fall-themed storytime at the South St. Paul Library on Sep. 26 at 10:30 a.m. Hope you can come!
