Why read it?
2 authors picked And Tango Makes Three as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is hard to imagine that And Tango Makes Three was revolutionary and controversial in 2015 when it was published, but it was. However, it is one of those books that paved the way for greater diversity in children’s literature. Like so many powerful books, And Tango Makes Three is based on the real experiences of two male penguins raising a baby penguin. It is a staple book for the personal libraries of all families interested in promoting family diversity.
From Thomas' list on about LGBTQ+ families.
And Tango Makes Three is an excellent example of acceptance. It’s the tale of two male penguins who fall in love and build themselves a home. But they yearn for a chick of their own. An astute zookeeper notices and puts an orphaned egg in their nest. The two raise their baby and are a happy family. Like in my book, A Home Again, the fact that this family consists of two dads and a baby is not an issue. It’s all about love.
From Colleen's list on picture books on diversity and feelings.
