Evaluation comments:
“Yes! This is a book about a little girl with two dads and learning how every family is different.”
“I love every part of this book. In fact, I found it so sweet and pertinent, I cried after reading it the first time. I get to work with all kinds of families and have a family with two moms right now. It is wonderful for all children to get to read about different families and it is especially amazing for children with same-sex parents to see themselves as the main character in a book.”
“This book is great for teachers to share in the class room to learn about different families and for parents to read. I will be reading this next time we have a family theme in our class.”
“This book is beautifully written and illustrated.”
“Riley has two dads and she wrestles with that a bit until she comes to understand that family is really about love and that many of those in her classroom have different caretakers. She is definitely loved.”
