"...should provide hope and encouragement for families in similar situations...[and] gives heterosexual audiences an insight into the life of a gay couple as parents and dispels the myth that gay couples raise gay children."--Library Journal

"...provocative (in the best sense)...Viewing this should be reassuring to other children of gay parents, and may enlighten some of their friends."--School Library Journal
