A nuclear family is a family of 4.

We have more than 4 in our group but there are 4 mods...

Read book/s with person/s on cover/s where when number of people on cover/s added, we have a total of 4.

Gender or Age does not matter but they must obviously be a human (no animalistic features so no shifters and no silhouettes etc).

For this task, you could be reading 1 book with 4 people on cover or 4 books with 1 person on each cover or any other combination.
