In Families of the USA, five-year-old Kyle lives in North Dakota with his parents and three brothers. They farm wheat and cattle with his grandparents and several uncles and aunts and their families on what was originally a homestead farm. Kristin and her family are African Americans, living in Wilmington, Delaware. We visit her classes at school, her father at work as director of a social service agency and watch her mother teach physical education to elementary kids.
