Summary: The banned children's book discussion kit includes 5 titles, with one copy each of: And Tango makes three -- Heather has two mommies -- In our mothers' house -- Something happened in our town: a child's story about racial injustice --Uncle Bobby's wedding.
And Tango makes three: At New York City's Central Park Zoo, two male penguins fall in love and start a family by taking turns sitting on an abandoned egg until it hatches.
Heather has two mommies: Heather's favorite number is two. She has two arms, two legs, and two pets. And she also has two mommies. When Heather goes to school for the first time, someone asks her about her daddy, but Heather doesn't have a daddy. Then something interesting happens. When Heather and her classmates all draw pictures of their families, not one drawing is the same. It doesn't matter who makes up a family, the teacher says. Heather learns that there are lots of different kinds of families and the most important thing is that all the people love each other.
In our mothers' house: Three young children experience the joys and challenges of being raised by two mothers.
Something happened in our town: a child's story about racial injustice: After discussing the police shooting of a local Black man with their families, Emma and Josh know how to treat a new student who looks and speaks differently than his classmates. Includes an extensive Note to Parents and Caregivers that provides general guidance about addressing racism with children, child-friendly vocabulary definitions, conversation guides, and a link to additional online resources for parents and teachers.
Uncle Bobby's wedding: Chloe is jealous and sad when her favorite uncle announces that he will be getting married, but as she gets to know Jamie better and becomes involved in planning the wedding, she discovers that she will always be special to Uncle Bobby--and to Uncle Jamie, too.
