“There are universal experiences that we can all relate to and having a diverse collection of literature in our libraries that looks like our students (or society) is a way we can support our students (or society, again) and encourage reading. Maybe even more important than encouraging reading by seeing ourselves is that in reading fiction we begin to see others, and that build empathy. It is important for children to see themselves in the books they are reading.”

- Dan Liljedahl - Saint Paul Schools Librarian

“As a rabbi, gay dad, and community leader, I am delighted to finally have a children’s book available that shows the beautiful, heartwarming, funny, and loving relationship between children and grandparents who happen to be gay. I can’t wait to order a copy for my future grandchildren!”

- Michael Adam Latz - Activist, Lead Rabbi Shir Tikvah Congregation

“This book is darling! And so needed! It is so important for children to see other families like their own - it shows them they are not alone. Thank you for writing this story.”

- Dot Belster - Executive Director Twin Cities Pride

“Kudos and congrats on your book. It’s a beautiful idea and as you mentioned, much needed. When your book is ready for purchase, we would love to include it in the Family Equality’s Book Nook, home to all things LGBTQ+ family and literay.”
