In 'How to Be a Family,' Dan Kois shares the ups and downs of dragging his kids around the world.
An American family has moved to Holland, where their older daughter’s conduct at school has landed them in a meeting.
Thankfully, Kois quickly recovers, returning to the kind of scene-based detail that animated his work from the Iceland trip that inspired the whole saga. The book doesn’t just amusingly collect magazine-length anecdotes; it’s in Holland that the most important goals of the book begin to coalesce. This book shows how one family works, as a way of helping us all ask ourselves: How might our own families best function?
