Starred ReviewStarred Review Booklist
“A must-have for children’s picture-book collections, 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, Booklist
Publishers Weekly
“Crayon and wash textures feature in Holzwarth’s warm illustrations, in which moody shadows and backgrounds convey underlying emotions . . . . [T]he message—that what makes a family is love—is sound.”—Publishers Weekly

“A little girl with two dads confronts homophobia. . . . Sweet if not groundbreaking.”—Kirkus Reviews
