This is the story of Roy and Silo, two male penguins in the Central Park Zoo who formed a family. This is a children's book aimed at representing non-traditional families and has come under a lot of fire. Those who attempt to ban this book never seem to care that the story is true, or that children that come from non-traditional family structures deserve to have books they can relate to like other children have.
In some libraries here in Florida, this book is shelved in the adult section so that children never have access to it, so if you can't find it in the juvenile section - look for it there.
This book is not about promoting a specific lifestyle, it's about the loving nature of all families. How can that be wrong?
