Summary: "Picnic in the Park" is a fully illustrated book for children which tells the story of Jason's birthday picnic and his guests. In so doing, it introduces children to a range of family structures, including two- and one-parent families; adoptive and foster families; gay and lesbian families; and step-families. It also shows a diverse range of adults and children. Using the device of a birthday picnic in the park, each page shows a new set of guests coming to the party; children can draw their own and friends' families on the pages at the back. Vividly illustrated, this book will provide family placement workers with an invaluable tool for introducing children to contemporary family structures in their preparation work with children prior to placement. Indeed, given the scope of the contents, this book could be used with any child in any setting to introduce them to modern-day family structures.

Summary: Robert ist anders als alle anderen Raben. Und das ist auch gut so. Manchmal dauert es nur eine Weile, bis man das erkennt und trotzdem glücklich wird. Eine parabelhafte Geschichte zum Thema Anderssein. Die Bilder von Helga Bansch zeigen aufs Schönste, wie wichtig es, dass nicht alle Raben schwarz sind! Robert ist eigentlich ein ausgesprochen fröhlicher Rabe. Doch wenn er singt, halten sich alle die Ohren zu, seine Witze findet niemand lustig und über seine bunten Kleider mokieren sich alle. Mit anderen Worten: Robert ist ein ziemlich schräger Vogel. Eines Tages hält er es nicht mehr aus und fliegt davon. Und weit weg von zu Hause tanzt, singt und erzählt er, wie ihm der Schnabel gewachsen ist.
