It's love that makes a family.

When a boy confides in his friend about bullies saying he doesn't have a real family, he discovers that his friend's parentsโ€”a mom and a dadโ€”and his two dads are actually very much alike.

Dr. Michael Genhart's debut story is the perfect resource to gently discuss discrimination with kids. This sweet and straightforward story shows that gay families and straight families and everything in between are all different kinds of normal. What makes a family real is the love that is shared.
