Very beautiful and timely! --Naomi Shihab Nye
"I love [Family Pictures] its outfit. This is a very warm and beautiful book. It has "gift" written all over it. Buy this book for someone you love, or love yourself and keep it on a table near your bed. The pictures are instructional and will remind you how to live. The poems are inspirational and will motivate you never to stop loving. Alexander has a winner here." --E. Ethelbert Miller
