When a teacher asks her class to think about what makes families special the answers are all different in many different ways-- but the same in one way that matters most of all. One is raised by a grandmother, and another has two dads. One in full of stepsibilings, and another has a new baby. As one by one, her classmates describe who they live with and who loves them---- family of every shape, size and every kind of relation--- the child realizes that as long as her family is full of caring people, her family is special.
