Melina Olenberger's Review of "In Our Mothers' House" By Patricia Polacco

An African-American girl, adopted by a lesbian couple as an infant, narrates the tale that spans from the adoption of her two younger siblings (an Asian boy named Will and a Caucasian girl named Millie), through the loud and loving holiday gatherings with her moms (whom she calls Marmee and Meema), through dealing with a homophobic neighbor, and finally the relationship her own children had with their two grandmas.  The message in the book is clear: a family with two moms can be just as wonderful as a family with a mom and a dad.
