amp ldquo A must-have...this is a delightful celebration of what makes a family amp hellip . Holzwarth beautifully renders the characters in a variety of hues, making the diversity showcased throughout one of the book amp rsquo s 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 children amp rsquo s collections and sure to be a storytime winner. amp rdquo -Booklist Starred Review

Riley is Papa amp rsquo s princess and Daddy amp rsquo s dragon. She loves her two fathers! When Riley amp rsquo s classmate asks her which dad is her real one, Riley is confused. She doesn amp rsquo t 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!
