Molly's Family
Nancy Garden, Sharon Wooding
The members of Ms. Marston's kindergarten class are
cleaning and decorating their room for the upcoming Open School
Night. Molly and Tommy work on drawing pictures to put on the
walls. Molly draws her family: Mommy, Mama Lu, and her puppy, Sam.
But when Tommy looks at her picture, he tells her it's not of a
family. "You can't have a mommy and a mama," he says.
Molly doesn't know what to think; no one else in her class has two
mothers. She isn't sure she wants her picture to be on the wall
for Open School Night.
Molly's dilemma, sensitively
explored in words and art, shows readers that even if a family is
different from others, it can still be happy, loving, and real.
