CIP Info At New York City’s Central Park Zoo two male penguins fall in love and start a family. By taking turns sitting on an abandoned egg until it hatches.

One of the best! A must own. This is a rare gem. Rarely do you find a good balanced story of a homosexual family with good illustrations, especially from first time authors. I am not crazy about the font used, but other than that it is a great story about families. This is a well presented account of the true story of Silo and Roy. The best part is how Tango (the baby penguin) gets her name. The zoo keeper names her Tango, because it takes two to tango. This book is being challenged across the nation and that is a shame. This is a great book that includes an author’s note for more background information.

Illustrations are in watercolors.
