My Family

My Family is a Grade 1 first reader that turns the most important people in a child's life into the heroes of their first book. Eight illustrated spreads introduce "my mother," "my father," "my grandmother," and "my grandfather" — building family vocabulary that mirrors the multi-generational households so many South African children call home.
