Every Family Is Different
Even Animal Families!
by Constance O'Connor and Natalia Rojas

---

Have you ever felt like your family is different than other families? Lots of people feel this way. But you only have to look to the animal kingdom to realize that families come in all shapes and sizes. Some families are large, with lots of siblings. Some are small, with just a single parent and one child. Some have two mommies or two daddies, and some have parents who adopt children to call their own. But they all have one thing in common: Love. Every Family is Different will introduce you to nature’s families, in all their wonderful diversity, and show you that they are all natural and perfect, each in their own way. Just like yours!
