"A year or so ago, I noticed that a lot of new books in school libraries were about divorce, sibling rivalry, dysfunctional families and so on. Of course, we need to talk about these things, but we also need feel-good stories about families getting along. If all we talk about are the problems, where are the models for getting along?"
