    • This is another book where the main character just happens to have two dads. The conflict has to do with trying to decide what costume to wear for the Purim costume contest. One of the only LGBTQ books that has a jewish setting, both of these themes are left with no explanation or conflict, rather they serve as the backdrop to the story of a kid doing kid things.
