This book talks about the different types of families that can be formed. It doesnt have to be a traditional family (mom, dad, and child). Everyone is capable of being a parent and being raised of different kinds of people no matter who they are. It is important to teach kids about this because it opens their mind to the different possibilities and families and life. It also helps them so see everyone as the same. No one is better than anyone else because of the family that they have. Everyone deserves to have a family, no matter who makes up their family.

This book gives the message that families are built over time by sharing love, compassion, acceptance, responsibilities, respect, and resources with others we are with, regardless of their gender. It shows that any relationship where each member cares for and supports the other with love and respect is a wonderful and valid foundation to start a family. This book speaks to me personally by addressing the variety of friends and family I have and those families I have encountered over the years in a positive way. It is important to offer books like this to children so they develop the concept that many types of families exist beyond just the structure of their own. It also raises their awareness of some the important and basic values needed to have healthy family relationships.

The message is that real love makes a healthy family. Real love is about acceptance, respect and nurturing. The book speaks to me personally because our large family has always forgiven and accepted one another. I am always saddened when I hear that this in not the case in some families where an "incident" results in loss of communication and contact. The two penguins longed for what they saw in the other families--an addition to love. I think books that speak of love and acceptance of critical for children.

The message I got from the book is that it does not matter if a family is made up of the traditional 'mom and dad', all you need to make a family is love and understanding. Families can be made up of 2 dads, or 2 moms, or 1 dad and mom and children can still be raised with love and kindness. I think it is important for children to read this book so that they can understand that even if their friends have different families from them, there is nothing wrong or odd with that.

The message here is that people working together to care for one another and demonstrate their love can make a family. Family is not limited or defined by biology. I have read this book with children and they almost always ask if the penguin that laid Tango's egg would be sad. Great place to start a conversation.

1. The message is that the definition of family is fluid, changing, and those changes should be honored, learned about, and celebrated.

This book does a lovely job of showing young children that families can look very different, yet one thing is present that needs to present in all families-love, respect and compassion. My father was a single dad who raised my sister and I on his own for many years, so I personally know what it's like to grow up in a non-traditional home. Books like these are wonderful, as so many of the students in our classrooms are coming from very diverse homes!

This book is about families and it takes to become one. It can be made of two dads, but still a loving family, that takes care of the children. I believe speaks to everone, not only me, in the current sociaty, since we see the prototype family is no longer a mother and a father and children
