About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking where they came from or begins to notice the different roles people play within your family circle. It is a perfect choice for fostering a sense of belonging and helping children visualize the invisible threads that connect them to their ancestors and extended relatives. By using a clever bird metaphor, Nina Laden transforms the abstract concept of genealogy into a tangible, interactive exploration of identity. The book explains the terminology of family relationships in simple, rhythmic language that feels like a gentle discovery. Beyond the facts, it emphasizes the emotional weight of being part of a larger story, making it an excellent tool for building self-confidence and a secure sense of self. Best suited for children ages 4 to 8, it provides a structured yet creative way for families to document their unique heritage together through the included poster and labels.
