Bales, R. F., & Parsons, T. (2014). Family: Socialization and Interaction Process. Routledge. (Original work published 1955) When a teacher asks the children in her class what makes their families special, one child thinks her family might be a little too different to explain. But then all of her classmates start talking about their families - one says she’s raised by her grandmother and another has two dads. One has a family full of step-siblings and one is expecting a new baby sibling. While all the answers are different, they’re the same in one big way. Their families are full of caring people. After listening to her classmates talk about their families, the child realises that as long as her family has caring people, her family is special too. This illustrated presentation for kids also discusses blended families, multiracial families, extended families, single-parent families, foster families, adoptive families, families with twins and different styles of families. The myriad of families depicted is the so called traditional heterosexual parents, same sex parents, single parents, married parents, unmarried parents, families with one, many, or no children, blended families, mixed race families, multi-generational and extended families, and adopted families – all done using animals as examples.

My rationale for selecting Families, Families, Families as part of my culturally diverse text set is because it fits in with an overall 'theme' – describing how families might not look like yours, but that doesn't mean that is a bad thing. The book focuses on how different families can be. That some children have two dads or live with their grandparents, have stepbrothers/sisters or live with cousins. The reason this book was chosen, specifically, is because the story revolves around teaching kids that is is ok for families to look different than yours.
