We All Live Together (Paperback)

Today's families are made up of variations of the traditional families of years gone by. Grandparents oftentimes step in to raise their grandchildren. Aunts and uncles and older brothers and sisters may also fulfill the role of mom and dad for children. In this story, a little girl and her siblings move in with their grandparents when their own parents go to jail. The family dynamics are confusing to the children. And, when the girl's teacher has everyone create their family tree for a school project, the girl is embarrassed and reluctant to let her classmates know about her family. That is, until she hears what family life is like for her peers. This is a wonderful story to share with children who may be dealing with similar circumstance and with children whose classmates and friends may be going through difficult times.
