(2) K-3 Illustrated by Vera B. Williams & Chris Raschka. Foster child Lester finally has a real family in Daddy Albert, Daddy Rich, and their dog Wincka. But sleeping alone makes Lester anxious. While the text takes its time in developing and solving this crisis, the pleasures of familyhood dot the narrative and provide texture. In their watercolors, Williams and Raschka engage the matter-of-fact intimacy of the boy with his gay dads.
