The Family Book
The Family Book | Todd Parr
6 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
There are so many different types of families, and THE FAMILY BOOK celebrates them all in a funny, silly, and reassuring way. Todd Parr includes adopted families, step-families, one-parent families, and families with two parents of the same sex, as well as the traditional nuclear family. His quirky humor and bright, childlike illustrations will make children feel good about their families. Parents and teachers can use this book to encourage children to talk about their families and the different kinds of families that exist.

I really enjoy Parr‘s use of colorful illustrations. In this book, he describes different kinds of families, with the message that a family is a group you care about. I had thoughts of those who feel like they have no family - those living in horrid, difficult situations - so this narrative is rosy colored. However, I think it still demonstrates family type differences well.

Banned for referencing same sex parents. #BBRC #PictureBook Letter F

LibrarianRyan I was never the biggest fan of Todd Parr. He was really big when I was still a children's librarian. I loved his messages, just not his art. Is it bad I still feel this way? That being said, his books shouldn't be banned. 2y
Librarybelle @LibrarianRyan Definitely nothing wrong! I like the colors…I‘m drawn to very colorful illustrations. When I did storytimes, I would use illustrations like these to ask what colors the kids would see on the pages and have a quick color discussion. 2y

Awwww. Look, this is too generalized, of course. Not all families hug each other or celebrate together. But the message comes across. Families don‘t have to all look one way in order to be a family. It is a great message for an audience of young children.

1. Violet likes to leave her tongue out.
2. #LitsyFam I have met so many great people in such a great community. This is one of the few communities online that I really connect with and feel like I can be me. I'm so glad to have met @MinDea @TricksyTails @TK421 and everyone else I've been able to share my love of Patrick Rothfuss books with. There are so many more people I enjoy, too many to name. I adore you all.
