I grew up in the 1950s and learned to read from the Dick and Jane series. They had a mother and father. not two mothers, two fathers, or only one parent. My grandkids are growing up without a mother, with only my son as a father. Families in reality come in many configurations other and than a mother or father. When a child is in school, often they are made to feel that they are different, it is time to celebrate different kinds of families.
Sam, short for Samantha, only became a part of the family three years ago, not the only adopted child but the newest one. Her Mom fixed boats and drove them while the other parent, Mama did the cooking, bought the clothes, and signed the notes for school.

There is a big problem, Samantha overheard a talk between the two mothers that Mom, the one who adopted her might have to close her business and work for someone else. Samantha had always wanted to take over the business. If Mom closed it, there would go her dream.

The family worked, played together, made mistakes, and loved each other. You will root for the whole family. ( )
