Reach for this book when your child is curious about different family structures or if you are navigating a divorce where one parent is entering a same-sex relationship. It provides a calm, matter-of-fact window into the daily life of a boy who splits his time between his mother's house and his father's home, which he shares with his roommate, Frank. The story focuses on the normalcy of their routine: doing chores, going to the zoo, and playing together. While it explains that being gay is just another way of loving, the heart of the book is about the stability of a child's world when all their parents are happy and involved. It is an excellent tool for removing the mystery or stigma from LGBTQ+ households and reinforcing that love is the foundation of every family.
