  In my opinion, this is an awesome book. The book is split up between chapters and touches on each family life a child could have. One main reason why I liked this book so much is that the characters were very believable and well developed. A little girl, Makayla, took the time to visit a few families during the day. Each family was different and this is important for a young child to see. Mikayla’s friend, Olivia, lived with her father on weekends and her mother during the week. Mikayla expressed, “ She has two homes where she belongs.” She also visited her friend Parker. Parker was adopted and has two fathers. Mikayla says that Parkers mother loved him, but couldn’t take care of him. His two dads were meant to have Parker in their lives. Another reason why I enjoyed this book was its delivery. The point of view was shown in first person. Mikayla was telling the entire story and it was very easy to pick out her feelings and experiences throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, Mikayla said that she was apprehensive of having a new sibling. She was worried it was going to change her family. Her father wanted her to go around to different families to see how they were different from hers. This gives a great perspective to the reader. They could put themselves in Mikayla’s shoes while she goes on her adventure to her friend’s houses. The most important message to grab from this book is to understand that families are all unique and different. They may change at different points in life, but that is okay because “different” could be a very good thing.
