Book Reviews of How My Family Came to Be: Daddy, Papa and Me
Book Review: Finally, A Story About a Family Like Mine
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved how this simple, age-appropriate story told of how a gay male couple adopted their son, communicating the love and hope that they share as a family with humor, honesty, and integrity. The fact that the couple is white and their son is African American added another facet to the story, bringing a measure of visibility to the growing number of biracial, bicultural families in our society. The illustrations are playful and add an element of emotional depth to the straightforward narrative of how this family came to be. For me and my son, this book evoked laughter, curiosity and a sense of dignity - finally, a story about a family like mine, told in a way that all families can enjoy and identify with in one way or another.
