#Review: Love Is Love by Michael Genhart #families #childrensbooks

This book follows along a boy who wears a rainbow heart shirt and talks to friends about his family that has two gay fathers. The boy finds out through a series of discussions with other children, that his family is not that much different and that his should be celebrated for the family they are.

The book and illustrations are sweet and I like that it celebrates all different families. In the end pages, the families are all together and wearing the same shirt. The point of course being that love comes in all forms and that it is okay. 

The book is a good starter to discuss same-sex families in particular but I would recommend this not as a sole book for the topic. However, in the back of the book, there is an extensive resource to utilize that asks pertinent questions and gives other resources to use. For that, it is great!

I give the book 3 stars.
