The Montreal Gazette published a review yesterday about a new picture book, My Family Tree and Me, by Dušan Petričić.
“My Family Tree and Me” is published by Kids Can Press,
Written for children three to seven years old, the 24-page book 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.
Reviewer Bernie Goedhart writes, “It’s fun to read the book from back to front and vice versa. And it’s fun to pick out the common traits and differences of family members in the group image.”
Publisher Kids Can Press describes the book as a “great springboard for lessons on describing and sharing family histories and naming family relationships.”
