“A must-have . . . this is a delightful celebration of what makes a family . . . . Holzwarth beautifully renders the characters in a variety of hues, making the diversity showcased throughout one of the book’s defining features and adding to the emotional punch of the story. All of the families look different, but the love they share makes them the same. Absolutely recommended for all children’s collections and sure to be a storytime winner.” ―Booklist Starred Review

Review

STARRED REVIEW! “A must-have...this is a delightful celebration of what makes a family…. Holzwarth beautifully renders the characters in a variety of hues, making the diversity showcased throughout one of the book’s defining features and adding to the emotional punch of the story. All of the families look different, but the love they share makes them the same. Absolutely recommended for all children’s collections and sure to be a storytime winner.” —STARRED review ― Booklist

“A little girl with two dads confronts homophobia…. Sweet if not groundbreaking…." ― Kirkus Reviews

“Real families everywhere will appreciate the book’s encouragement and acknowledgement that love is what ties them together.” ― Foreword Reviews

“Crayon and wash textures feature in Holzwarth’s warm illustrations, in which moody shadows and backgrounds convey underlying emotions… the message—that what makes a family is love—is sound.” ― Publishers Weekly

“In the end, Riley’s dad helps her understand that families are all different in so many ways not just if they have two dads. No family is more valid than the other because what makes a family is love, not some arbitrary definition.” ― No Time for Flashcards
