There are an estimated 20 million “only children” in the United States alone. Yet, there are less than a handful of Children's Picture Books geared to the only child. This interactive book is a positive expression of the family of three and the only child.
Rating: Five Stars
"There are all kinds of families in this great big world. Some are big
with lots of kids… and some are small, with not too many or simply none at
all." Did you know that the single-child family is the fastest growing
type of American family? Yet, when author Vivian Cameron-Gallo, the mother of
an "only child," sought a children's book that represented her
daughter Ava, she found only a few and those had a melancholy tone with
negative stereotypes. Therefore, inspired by her own family of three, she wrote
this endearing little book to make the single child feel "normal" and
part of something bigger – a family. The gentle, flowing verse makes for easy
reading, and the colorful drawings by Christina Simcic add visual beauty to the
text. I think that We're Three is a very beneficial and useful book, and
it has my hearty endorsement.

Rating: Five Stars: “We’re Three” is a beautifully written and illustrated book. I truly enjoyed reading it to my son and sharing the message of how special a family of three is. He especially loved the interactive aspect of the book and drew his own interpretation of our unique family of three. The playful words and colorful illustrations made it fun to turn every page. I loved every “bit” of it!

Rating: Five Stars: What a lovely story regarding a family structure that revolves around the only child. In these current times when only children are becoming the norm, it is nice to see that someone has identified with this growing family structure in a positive way. Kudos to the author and to the illustrator on such beautiful illustrations. I look forward to more work from this dynamic duo!

Rating: Five StarsA Charming and Delightful Story about the Love of Family, This is such a delightful story about family! Although written primarily for those who are "only" children, the story exudes an even more poignant message: the strong bond of love that exists in a family, no matter how large or small! The story's message is complemented through the artist's unique and charming illustrations. Children and adults of all cultures will certainly enjoy and identify with the lovely images in this book. Children especially, will enjoy the interactive pages the author has so thoughtfully provided. How wonderful that they can truly call this book their own by drawing pictures that relate to their own family! Kudos to the author and illustrator on a wonderful story…for young, and old alike. Look forward to future books by these women! P.S. This would make a lovely holiday gift for that special little girl or boy who is an only child, and needs to know how special they truly are!

Rating: Five Stars: My niece really enjoys the book! She loves that she is able to draw on the blank pages in the book to personalize it further for herself. What a great book to let an only child explore how much fun being an only child can be!

Rating: Four Stars: I am a mother of an only child. This is a wonderful book for pre-school and elementary school aged children. It gives them an understanding and sense of what other "only children" might feel. It also allows them to realize that they are not alone. The interactive pages are fun and inspirational.
