And Tango Makes Three

And Tango Makes Three is a picture book based on the true story of two male penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo who hatched and raised a chick together. With gentle text and warm illustrations, it presents family diversity and same-sex parenting in a simple, age-appropriate way for young children. Parents and educators use it to show that love and care, not family structure, are what make a family. It’s a powerful, accessible read-aloud for preschool and early elementary learners, and often becomes a touchstone title in inclusive home libraries.
