Reviews / Votes
"Each sweetly illustrated page is just a glimpse of everyday life, but for children in two-person families surrounded by bigger clans, also a reminder of the immense love in their own homes, too." --The New York Times "Mourning's wispy figures playfully cavort through the four seasons, with large smiles, high-fives, and hugs. There is no shortage of encouragement and love." --Kirkus Reviews "[I]n this tribute to single parents and their singleton offspring ... Matthies never explicitly compares these families to others, nor does she talk about the choices or circumstances that created the pairings. She keeps her message simple and clear: Head counts don't matter. All you need is love." --Publishers Weekly "This sweet picture book is a warm and loving celebration of tiny families.--BooklistMore details
