Is Your Family Like Mine, Abramchik, Lois "Is Your Family Like Mine" is a very good family book for 4-7 year olds. Even though the main character is a girl, my six year old son wants to read it every night before going to bed. He enjoys seeing other families like his own (two moms). I appreciate authors, like Lois Abramchik, who are able to present realistic family life without forcing ideas upon the reader and avoid giving so much detail that the story line does not flow.

We hope that you and others who care about and work with youth will review the factual and scientific information provided herein and weigh it carefully in considering how to respond appropriately to controversies about homosexuality when they arise in your school.‘

While the controversy over education and homosexuality is one of the most personally threatening in this nation’s history, the timely research presented in Coming Out of the Classroom Closet will hearten gay and lesbian educators to continue to strive for fair treatment as peers and for equal representation in educational materials. Pointing to reports of greater social support and legal protection than is assumed by most in the educational system, this book should be required reading for all persons concerned about continuing to provide high-quality education at all levels--college and university, secondary, and even elementary.
