This book provides some good advice and talking points with interviews with multiple families. However, I feel the perspectives beyond lesbian and gay were hardly represented. The author does mention that he has little experience with transgender people before writing this book, and while does focus a chapter on trans parents, all the examples given are trans women. In most of the other chapters, trans examples are absent or barely mentioned. Examples of bisexual or queer families/parents were few and far between.

I don't think it was done out of maliciousness, but rather the experiential bias of the author. Given the title, I was expecting more of a balanced and well-rounded view of rainbow families and was a little disappointed. However, if you're looking for a good beginners guide on how to talk to kids about families that fall outside the heteronorm, I do recommend it.

Great slice-of-life comic diary.

Great quick reference guide for organizing family records and includes sources for more information and useful software.
