Bookroo's summary

When a boy faces teasing for having two dads, he turns to a friend for support. Through their heartfelt conversation, he discovers that love, not family structure, defines what makes a family real. As they compare their families, the boy learns that despite differences, love is the common thread that binds them all. This touching story invites young readers to explore themes of acceptance and diversity, challenging them to see beyond traditional family norms. Can love truly bridge the gap between different family dynamics?

From the publisher

A boy confides in a friend that he doesn t know what to say when he’s teased for having two dads, and when kids say that they’re not a real family. In their conversation, his friend helps him see how her family (with a mom and a dad) isn’t all that different from his: they both have parents who love them, and they both love their parents. And it’s love that makes a family.
