Summary

“A tender story about the variety of people that make children feel loved and supported.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books   Stella’s class is having a Mother’s Day celebration, but what’s a girl with two daddies to do? It’s not that she doesn’t have someone who helps her with her homework, or tucks her in at night. Stella has her Papa and Daddy who take care of her, and a whole gaggle of other loved ones who make her feel special and supported every day. She just doesn’t have a mom to invite to the party. Fortunately, Stella finds a unique solution to her party problem in this sweet story about love, acceptance, and the true meaning of family.   “Told with both a light touch and an astute eye toward a child’s perspective and heartfelt concerns.” —School Library Journal   “A raucous happy ending.” —The New York Times
