"How come I have two dads and no mom? Why doesn't my family look like everyone else's?" Jessica loves her two dads. And they love her! She's their entire world, and they make sure she has everything she needs to be safe and happy. That's all she's ever known. But sometimes, Jessica can't help but wonder. How did I come to be? Why don't I have a mom? Does this mean our family isn't complete?
Most of the other kids at school have the same set of parents. One mom, and just one dad. She sticks out, and she can't help it. And sometimes the kids are mean. One day, Jessica comes to her dads with a question that takes a lot of courage to ask.
Follow the story of Jessica and her parents in this heartwarming tale by Melvin J. Coates.
Even though asking big questions is scary, Jessica's dads know exactly how to clear her worries and doubts. She learns that while their family might not be built the same, it doesn't mean she's any less than all the other kids. In fact, families come in all shapes and sizes! They have a community that shares support and acceptance, and a big, wide, beautiful world full of color and diversity.
LGBTQ+ parents aren't any less loving. But the conversations around it can be hard for kids. How are they supposed to answer other people's questions? Is it safe to express their thoughts and fears?
In his book, Coates shows worried parents and kids a safe way to handle these hard talks. Wrapped in kindness and compassion, it's a lesson to us all that as long as you can feel it, all love is equal and real.
