"Tango was the very first penguin in the zoo to have two daddies."
At the penguin house at the Central Park Zoo, two penguins named Roy and Silo were a little bit different from the others. But their desire for a family was the same. And with the help of a kindly zookeeper, Roy and Silo got the chance to welcome a baby penguin of their very own.
Also includes a CD with the Audio Narration by Neil Patrick Harris.
There are so many reasons to love this book:
- this is based off a heart-warming true story of Roy, Silo and Tango at the Central Park Zoo in New York City!
- the accompanying audio narration - you can have Neil Patrick Harris read you a bedtime story!
- this is a longstanding 'banned book', so if you read it, you know somewhere out there a homophobe is mad about it!
- celebration of diverse family units!
- it's just so cute!
