Meet My Family: Animal Babies and their Families

I am accustomed to reading poetry by Laura Purdie Salas (I’m a big fan) and even poetic nonfiction but as she delves into a more traditional nonfiction style, I’m happy to tag along for the ride.  Much like the rhesus macaque infant might take a ride on a dog.  I love that Meet My Family, a book about animal babies, mirrors our world of families taking on many shapes and sizes in the human world in 2018.  From small families to large, those with two moms, two dads, or adoptive parents, single parents, and parents who “work” away from the home, children will find a family that reflects their own reflected in the natural world.  Stephanie Fizer Coleman injects joy into each of the illustrations of unique family interactions.
