When Molly draws a picture of her Mommy and her Mama Lu, classmate Tommy objects: "That's not a family." Crisis, small-scaled, ensues, as does a comforting chat with the mommies, and a word on "all kinds of families" from the teacher. The story, illustrated with warm but generic colored-pencil drawings, is overly purposive and bland, but it is a straightforward address to the virtues of gay parenting.
