Teach family relationships in French and English with the works of the American Impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt. Each painting represents a member of Mary Cassatt's family or a friend of the painter. Following an introduction on one page ("Voici Alexander Cassatt / Meet Alexander Cassatt") the subject's relation to Mary is described ("Alexander est le frère de Mary" / "Alexander is Mary's brother").
At the very end of the volume is a two-page "fill-in" scrapbook and a vocabulary list.
