Children describe their own families and explain concepts like "birth mom," "mixed race," "gay and lesbian," and "stepdad."

"With courage and humor, the children in That's a Family! take viewers on a tour through their lives as they speak candidly about what it's like to grow up in a family with parents of different races or religions, divorced parents, a single parent, gay or lesbian parents, adoptive parents or grandparents as guardians. This award-winning film will stretch your mind and touch your heart no matter what your age. That's a Family! comes with an extensive discussion and teaching guide, which includes lesson plans to use with the film, suggestions for facilitating classroom discussion at different grade levels, and additional resources for teachers, families and children. Schools and community groups may also sign up for training on how to use That's a Family! as a diversity teaching tool with young children." -- Publisher's description.
