Busy professionals living in the D.C. suburbs, they scheduled their children's time wisely, and when they weren't arguing over screen time, the Kois family--Dan, his wife Alia, and their two pre-teen daughters--could each be found searching for their own happiness. But aren't families supposed to achieve happiness together? In this eye-opening, heartwarming, and very funny family memoir, the fractious, loving Kois' go in search of other places on the map that might offer them the chance to live away from home--but closer together. Over a year the family lands in New Zealand, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and small-town Kansas. The goal? To get out of their rut of busyness and distractedness and to see how other families live outside the East Coast parenting bubble. HOW TO BE A FAMILY brings readers along as the Kois girls--witty, solitary, extremely online Lyra and goofy, sensitive, social butterfly Harper--hike through the Kiwi bush, ride bikes to a Dutch school in the pouring rain, battle iguanas in their Costa Rican kitchen, and learn to love a town where everyone knows your name. Meanwhile, Dan interviews neighbors, public officials, and scholars to learn why each of these places work the way they do. Will this trip change the Kois family's lives? Or do families take their problems and conflicts with them wherever we go? A journalistic memoir filled with heart, empathy, and lots of whining, HOW TO BE A FAMILY will make readers dream about the amazing adventures their own families might take."--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.41 Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.41 Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 910.41 Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.41 Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Kois Ko withdrawn Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.41 Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList
