Summary

Every family should have a copy of this wonderfully educational oversized book-
easy-to-read and full of maps and pictures-designed to teach children about families and children from all around the world.

Each spread features an original family portrait, a map of the country, and a description of a typical day-as told by one of the children.

The kids' tales give us insight into different family structures, recreational activities,
religious practices, school, dress, and other local customs, while also addressing the broader social context. From Australia to Venezuela, China to South Africa, Finland to Vietnam,
photographer Uwe Ommer takes us on a phenomenal worldwide journey, from cities to high mountain peaks to sunny coasts. Families is a superbly original book to be enjoyed by children of all ages and families of all nationalities.
