A Family of Stories

There are always two sides to every story -- and sometimes even three. In this family of five the stories weave themselves around common themes: birthdays and Christmas, summer vacation and the first day of school, even a visit from their Spanish abuelos. Join Danny, Jack and Marta as each gets the chance to tell the story, in this way creating a network of stories that more accurately mirrors the reality of family life. Three children -- three protagonists, and incredibly, although living in the same household, they all manage to see things quite differently, each one bringing their own perspective and personality to life. Enjoy reading them with your children, or in a classroom setting. Readers of any age are often left discussing who their favorites are, who is most like them, and how their personal perspective fits into their own "Family of Stories."
