What is Sometimes Families about?

Discover the many ways families can be. Some families stay the same, while others grow; some move quickly, while others take things slowly. Meet animal families from across the natural world, including blue whales gliding through the sea, bunnies returning to their burrow and playful dogs spending time together. With simple, rhythmic text and bright illustrations, this gentle board book celebrates families of all shapes and sizes. A surprise mirror on the final page invites babies to spot their own family.
