Your playful daddy? Your yummy mommy? See how one girl does it in this simple, clever picture book that's comprised of family portraits made out of objects. For example, her baby brother is \"so \"noisy--he's as loud as a whistle, a horn, and even a fire truck --that she creates a picture of him with whistles for eyes, a horn mouth, and holding a fire truck. After the girl has described everyone in her family (including herself, in great detail), she asks, \"What does \"your \"special family look like?\" encouraging readers to create their own portraits.
