This is another terrific book of loving family relationships by Patricia Polacco.  The first of three adopted children tells of the love and special moments in their non-traditional family with two mothers.  Every page is filled with expressions of warmth and affection of the exceptional family as the moms plan activities to provide a well-rounded childhood for their brood.  The lively, colored pencil and marker illustrations are full of life and tenderness.  the families in the neighborhood willingly participate in block parties and activities arranged by the two moms.  Only one cranky parent refuses to have anything to do with this unconventional family.  This story avoids all the terms often used when describing a family with same-sex parents, and may be used to gently explain differences in some families.
