Work Description
From School Library Journal: "Preschool-Grade 2 -- A first title in a new line of books for children with homosexual parents, told in a straightforward manner. A young boy describes his father's relationship with his roommate, Frank (they "live together, work together, eat together, sleep together..."), and his own relationship with these men -- shopping, gardening, and enjoying the zoo, beach, movies, etc. He believes that "being gay is just one more kind of love. And love is the best kind of happiness." The tone throughout the book is positive, and the boy has healthy, affectionate bonds with the adults in his life. There is no mention of bitterness or possible criticism from others. Bright, framed watercolours in an almost comic-book style portray the relationships with a light touch.
