Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
What Is a Family?
Cassandra Hames · 2019
62/100
👎 Skip It
A gentle rhyming board book for the littlest readers, built around the idea that family is about bonds and support more than blood or last names. It's sweet for lap-time reading, though there's not a lot of depth to it beyond that.
