Miller, Marie-Therese. Many ways

Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! Feelings can be happy or sad, big or small, easy or hard, and sometimes too complicated to put into words. Young readers will explore different kinds of feelings and the many ways to handle them. "The four books in the Many Ways series present simple, positive introductions to topics that are integral to children's lives: families, feelings, homes, and parents. Each colorful page features a short sentence or two, illustrated with an attractive photo. Across the board, the books create a positive, inclusive tone. From the racial diversity apparent in the photos to the family configurations described in the text, readers will find many other differences, without a sense that one is better than another. In Families, Miller points out that some are noisy and others are quiet, some have a single parent while others have two dads or two moms, and some have one of each. Some kids live with their grandparents. Feelings portrays a variety of different emotions and notes that they come and go. 'You might feel' different ways throughout the day, and that's okay. Homes introduces a variety of living situations. While many families live in houses, others live in apartments, in trailers, or stay in shelters or with relatives temporarily. Overlapping somewhat with types of families portrayed in Families, such as single parents and same-sex parents, Parents also includes pages on adoption, foster parenting, military deployment, and activities that kids and parents share. An upbeat, appealing series, well suited to reading aloud in the classroom."-Booklist
