Adoptees should appreciate how desired the baby is, and Philip's and Don Carlos' mutual affection remains touching. The Arthur Rackham-like images in lavender-blue tones by debut illustrator Trotter are a gorgeous, striking plus, beautifully detailed with flower, bird, vine, and fruit motifs. Sweet characters, skillful storytelling, and knockout illustrations."--Page 4 of cover.

Families around the world

Families around the world 
by Margriet Ruurs 
illus. by Jessica Rae Gordon 
Language: English 
Toronto: Kids Can Press, 2014. ©2014 
40 pages : illustrations en couleur ; 31 cm. 
ISBN: 9781894786577; 1894786572 
Summary: "A successor to the popular Children Around the World written and illustrated by Donata Montanari, this book allows young readers to visit with fourteen children, each from a different country, to learn about their families. Based on real children, each one's story fills a two-page spread and is told in the first person, beginning with a greeting in the child's native language. From Ryan, who lives on a Texas cattle farm, to Nkoitoi, who tends the family goat in Kenya, to Baatar, who moves regularly with his nomadic family in Mongolia, there is a vast range of homes, locations, customs and activities presented here, all of it enthusiastically illustrated with bright colors and vivid detail by illustrator Jessica Rae Gordon. There is variety in the heads of the families as well: a single parent, multiracial parents and same-sex parents are all represented. For all the children's different experiences, however, it is clear how much their lives have in common with one another, and likely with the book's readers. The love they have for their family members, the joy they find in play and the beauty they see around them wherever they live are experiences that cross borders. This is a wonderful, uplifting global studies title perfect for exploring cultures and geography. It would also be useful for a social studies unit on families and family relationships. Adding to its value as a teaching tool are suggestions for lesson plans built around the book, as well as a glossary and pronunciation guide for foreign words."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Es en este vínculo que las podemos mejorar y mantenerlas siempre a mano, listas para ser activadas y utilizadas en el mundo exterior. Nadie nace sabiendo vincularse con el otro, se aprende en el hogar a través del ejemplo que los adultos brindan a los pequeños. Y la interacción que se establece con los hermanos está estrechamente vinculada a la relación que mantienen éstos con sus padres. Por esto es necesario establecer vínculos sanos donde se privilegie la expresión de los afectos y la cooperación entre hermanos. Este libro está destinado a todos los padres que se encuentran en el proceso de crianza de sus hijos, para que puedan afrontar las dificultades de cada vínculo familiar, pero también, está orientado a las personas adultas, para que puedan entender cómo las relaciones con sus hermanos influyeron en sus vidas."--Casadellibro. A "normal family"" used to consist of a mother, a father, and their children. These days, every family is different: grandparents raising grandchildren, adoption, fertilization methods, two men or two women having children. This book tells the stories of different children dealing with their problems.
