A young boy named Nick introduces readers to life with his divorced father and his father's roommate/lifemate, a man named Frank. Nick openly explains what life is like for his father and Frank--stating that they "live together, work together and sleep together." He then goes on to explain how he has a positive relationship with both men, enjoying such activities as gardening, shopping, and going to the beach. Nick concludes his story by stating his belief that "being gay is just one more kind of love. And love is the best kind of happiness." Watercolor illustrations accompany the text.

Publisher Notes
This story's narrator begins with his parent's divorce and continues with the arrival of "someone new at Daddy's house". The new arrival is male. This new concept is explained to the child as "just one more kind of love". The text is suitably straightforward, and the format--single lines of copy beneath full-page illustrations--easily accessible to the intended audience.
