And Tango Makes Three | Justin Richardson, Peter Parnell

This is a perfect book for teaching young children concepts of acceptance, inclusion, and love. A very beautiful book that would be amazing for young readers.

This is such a cute and inclusive book for young children. Some may find it controversial, however it shows such a cute meaning of love. Beautiful book that I forward to using in my classroom.

There‘s been some interest in this group, so I‘ve created a Google form for book nominations. I‘ll try to have a poll for books open by Dec 1 with our first read starting in January. No pressure, jump in or out whenever you want.

If you‘ve already submitted the form, I have your responses.
