I don't recall ever seeing this type of thing, with the exception of that new Kar-Ben book about Purim that had a family with two Dads. I would need examples of this in books for children up to grade 9. Any suggestions? Lisa Silverman Library Director Sinai Temple Library 10400 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90024 (310) 481-3215
