And Tango Makes Three is the bestselling, heartwarming true story of two penguins who create a nontraditional family.

At the penguin house at the Central Park Zoo, two penguins named Roy and Silo were a little bit different from the others. But their desire for a family was the same. And with the help of a kindly zookeeper, Roy and Silo get the chance to welcome a baby penguin of their very own.

Selected as an ALA Notable Children’s Book Nominee and a Lambda Literary Award Finalist, “this joyful story about the meaning of family is a must for any library” (School Library Journal, starred review).

Sebastian ★★★★★

The signed bookplate from the illustrator is a lovely touch—it makes this feel like a keepsake rather than just a book. My daughter asks for this true penguin story every single night, and I don't mind one bit because the illustrations are so warm and expressive.

Joshua ★★★★★

I almost cried reading this sweet true story to my son, and the signed bookplate from Henry Cole makes it a special keepsake. The way it gently explains different kinds of families through penguins is perfect for young kids.

Olivia N. ★★★★★

My four-year-old loves the penguin story, and having the signed bookplate from the illustrator makes it feel special. The hardcover held up well after our third read-aloud tonight.
