warmly and positively conveyed in this picture book, which stresses
the supportive nature of the family, whether together or apart.

sad times is iterated joyously in flowing text and soft, expressive
illustrations alternating color with black-and-white spreads of a
great variety of family units and experiences." Booklist"
