各式各樣不同的家 All Kinds of Families

 
　　家庭的組成，只有一個爸爸、一個媽媽這種可能嗎？紅毛猩猩是由媽媽照顧寶寶，但澳洲國鳥鴯鶓則是由爸爸來照顧寶寶。有些信天翁家庭會有兩個媽媽共同扶養孩子，有些獵豹則會被兩個爸爸收養。有些家庭是由祖父母，會是大家庭來照顧幼兒成長。這些各式各樣的家庭有什麼共同點呢？那就是愛！
 
　　透過觀察了解世界上各種不同家庭和動物生態，和小朋友討論家庭可能的不同組成方式，鼓勵小朋友從小培養多元包容思考，以開放的心擁抱差異。

        A wonderful celebration of the diversity of family life that is perfect for pre-schoolers, from award-winning author/illustrator Sophy Henn – the creator ofWhere Bear?, Pass It On and the Lifesize series.

        Just like us, animal families are all different. For orang-utans, mummy looks after the babies, for emus it is all down to daddy. Clownfish live with a mummy and daddy, some albatross families live with two mummies and some cheetahs are adopted by two daddies. For some families it is the grandparents, or even a huge family group, who help bring up the youngsters. But what’s the one thing that they have in common? Love, of course!

        Reflecting the different ways that children live today, this warm and friendly introduction to the variety of family life is perfect for pre-schoolers to learn about the world around them, as well as seeing which family is similar to their own.
