Warning: adoption story of a gay couple.

A book about fear, adoption, family, and the joy of fatherhood.

This story of the adoption of a young boy by two gay dads hits all the right emotional notes but came off as pretty generic and not nuanced at all - a definite lack of a queer voice here. It is also quite text heavy and in places clunky. Also felt that Raschka was the wrong choice to illustrate this book - his illustrations are muddy and difficult to connect with. This is a 2.5 stars for me. ( )

Great for children to see how families become families.

This book is a story for children about a gay couple who have been trying to adopt a boy for a while and finally does. This book also talks about how the boy is adapting to the change and gets lonely sometimes. The book also shows how the boy's new family and dog come to comfort him to make him feel at home.
Ages 3-5
