What is a family? May Hoffman looks through children's eyes at the wide varieties of family in our society and celebrates family members, their homes, schools, jobs, holidays, food, clothes, pets, hobbies, modes of transport, celebrations and feelings.
Some parents go out to work, some work from home, while others can't find a job. The food section takes in dads' cooking, ready-made meals, shops and allotments, while holidays range from the exotic to weekends at home. The text is sympathetic and the illustrations often humorous in this fresh and contemporary look at families of today.
