And Tango Makes Three is the bestselling, heartwarming true story of two penguins who create a nontraditional family.

At the penguin house at the Central Park Zoo, two penguins named Roy and Silo were a little bit different from the others. But their desire for a family was the same. And with the help of a kindly zookeeper, Roy and Silo get the chance to welcome a baby penguin of their very own.

Selected as an ALA Notable Children’s Book Nominee and a Lambda Literary Award Finalist, “this joyful story about the meaning of family is a must for any library” (School Library Journal, starred review).

I love that my daughter can grow up reading this and knowing that same sex couples are just regular 'ol couples. No need to explain any further, love is love.

This book rocks. I have a 3 year old that loves to read, and she loves this book. It's nice to have stories that introduce children to all different kinds of families-- as they exist in real life. :)

Wonderful Story

By Renaissance on February 10, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Beautiful book based on a true story. Being a LGBT family, I went looking for diverse books when my daughter was born. She's one now, and still just flips through pages of any book super fast--still, this is a keeper that I think she will enjoy even more in the future.
