Papa, Daddy, and Riley

ALAs 2021 Rainbow Book List Selection NCSS-CBC 2021 Notable Social Studies Trade Book One of Bank Streets 2021 Best Childrens Books of the Year A must-have...this is a delightful celebration of what makes a family. Holzwarth beautifully renders the characters in a variety of hues, making the diversity showcased throughout one of the books defining features and adding to the emotional punch of the story. All of the families look different, but the love they share makes them the same. Absolutely recommended for all childrens collections and sure to be a storytime winner. Booklist Starred Review Riley is Papas princess and Daddys dragon. She loves her two fathers! When Rileys classmate asks her which dad is her real one, Riley is confused. She doesnt want to have to pick one or the other. Families are made of love in this heartwarming story that shows there are lots of ways to be part of one. In this heartwarming story showing readers that some families can have one parent or two, some have stepparents, aunts, uncles, or grandparents, Riley learns that families are made of love. Her dads didn't give birth to her, but they carried her in their heart. They love her. They are a family. They all belong together. And Riley's Daddy and Papa are both her real dads!
