Molly's Family
by Nancy Garden, Sharon Wooding
Age: Preschool to 2nd grade
Media:black ink, side of colored pencils?
Illustrator Style: Realistic to capture reality of plot, lighter drawing to give warmth and seriousness to story
While Molly’s class is preparing for Open School Night, she draws a picture of her family: Mommy, Mama Lu, and her puppy. Another child disbelieves her picture, adding a reality that most same-sex couple children may encounter. At first, Molly is ashamed of her difference but comes to see that all families are different in some way.
The ending, or climax, is a bit cast aside for the thematic importance which is unfortunate because all kids at this age love a complete storyline.
