This one-of-a-kind picture book provides a beautifully simple
introduction to the concept of family ancestry. It uses two stories
in one to explore a small boy's family tree: the boy tells the
family story of his father's side starting from the front of the
book, and that of his mother's side starting from the back of the
book. Four previous generations are introduced for each, from his
great-great-grandparents to his parents. The grand finale in the
center of the book reveals the boy's entire extended family, shown
in one drawing with all the members from both sides identified by
their relationship to him. Of particular interest is the cultural
diversity of the boy's family, which includes European and Asian
ancestors, and readers can visually interpret the family members'
physical characteristics as they get passed on through the
generations. Award-winning illustrator Du?an Petri?i?'s classic
artwork contains thoughtfully selected details with a touch of play
and humor. And, since most of the story is told in the art, this is
a wonderful tool for enhancing children's visual literacy as they
spend time making connections and looking for clues. This book
makes a great springboard for lessons on describing and sharing
family histories and naming family relationships. Applicable
in-class activities could include having children build their own
family trees or imagine and draw portraits of their ancestors
featuring period and cultural details. This title also lends itself
to discussions on multiculturalism in families and in the larger
community.
