![]() ![]() The message is one of being loved and included no matter the size of your family or who is part of it. ![]() The verse then goes on to show other objects and items that are that number but still a solid unit, like a bunch of bananas or a flock of birds. ![]() Each verse looks at a larger family but begins with "One is." and then the number of people in that family. Shannon writes a great little poem that carries this book forward at a brisk and jaunty pace. This picture book will have every child seeing themselves on the page and able to relate, which is definitely something to be celebrated! The book celebrates diversity in families as well with people of different ethnic backgrounds and gay parents. The book is a cheery mix of counting book and family size, moving from one person happily sharing her book with her cat to a very large family of ten with grandparents mixed in. A joyous look at how different families can be and how very happy people can be in small and large families. ![]()
