# Families Can - Board Book

by **Dan Saks** (Author), **Brooke Smart** (Illustrator)

**A rhyming, light-hearted celebration of the wonderful differences that make each family unique.**

_A family can be_  
_Any kind of number_  
_Maybe there's one parent_  
_Strong like thunder_

This charmingly heartfelt board book is for families: families who cook together and families who sing together, families with lots of members and families with a special few, families who live together and families who live separately--for _all_ families. Celebrate the differences that make each family unique and the similarities and love that connect us all together.
