What is a family?
Who is a family?
Either a lot or a few is a family;
But whether there’s ten or there’s two in your family,
All of your family plus you is a family!

There is something for everyone in this celebration of families – poems about families of all sizes and configurations, about brothers and sisters, adoptees and stepsiblings, parents and grandparents, even a special ode to the only child. Both poems and Hafner’s warm expressive illustrations convey the sense of what makes family life at once so wonderful and so unpredictable. Told from a child’s point of view, the poems are perfect for reading alone or in the classroom and for family story times as well.
