The family is made of felt applique.  The all look friendly and like they mean well, but they all carry something; a toy, or a spoon, or, a weapon?  The father is somber and dark, sturdy flat and colorless, kindly in an impersonal way.  Mother is bright, warm and pink, with a glowing cooking pot and friendly dog at her feet.  Brother and Sis are in bright primary colors to show their active, clashing natures, and outside the window is a idyllic summer day.  All would seem perfect except for that locked closets, with the secrets inside.  Every family has them.
