| Sumario: | This text is a review of a book for children on biological evolution by philosopher Santiago Ginnobili entitled "One Big Family". The book in question is based on the figure of the English naturalist Charles Darwin to introduce the idea of evolutionary change and, more specifically, the idea of common ancestry. In relation to the content, some virtues of the text under review stand out, among them the recourse to known phenomena and analogical reasoning, which facilitate the understanding of a scientific idea central to Darwin's work and to current biology that is contrary to common sense. In relation to the style, the clear and attractive character of the text is emphasized, as well as the quality of the illustrations. It is concluded that the book is a good introduction to evolutionary thought for young children, and that its reading could facilitate the later construction of scientific models of evolutionary biology in school.
