 This picture book for young children presents the traditional, Judeo-Christian view of the family in picture-book format.   In school, young Michael learns that God made men to be fathers and women to be mothers. After school, his father takes him to the zoo, where he learns that animal families consist of a male, a female, and their offspring.

Upon observing these phenomena, Michael asks his father two questions:

1. Why does his friend have two fathers?

2. Am I adopted?

 His father sensitively addresses both of these questions with love and compassion, and he tells Michael that he needs to pray for his friend and his friend’s two fathers. His dad lets him know that he is adopted and that he and his mother love him very much.

This timely book will help children to understand God’s plan for the family.
