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.

The story is fabulous, the dialogue is believable, and the characters are realistic. The illustrations are cheerful and fun, they enhance the story, and they depict a diverse group of children and adults. We started reading it when my kiddo was 4, and it's always been one of her favorites. When Mrs. Abbott announces that they are going to have a special Mother's Day celebration in their class, and each child can invite a special guest, Stella is worried. She has two dads, but no special guest to bring to the Mother's Day celebration. Everyone else has a mother. Howie has two! One by one, the other kids ask Stella who does the things that their moms do - who tucks you in at night, who makes your lunch, etc. When it comes to "who kisses you when you get hurt", Stella responds, "Well, that's a long answer." She then lists all the people who give her hugs and kisses, and the other child says, "why not invite them all?" Stella's dads think that's a great idea, but Stella is still worried. Is it too many people? Will it be ok? She works harder than anyone on her invitation, because there are so many people to include. When the big day arrives, Stella is relieved to find that everything goes wonderfully. At the end of the celebration, Mrs. Abbott is worn out, and Stella reassures her that for Father's Day, she won't bring nearly as many people - just 2! Meanwhile, Howie is walking home with his moms and wondering who he will bring to the Father's Day celebration. :) Review: Mother's Day celebration without mother - Fun story that centers on Stella, a little girl in elementary school. Her teacher says "We're going to have a celebration for Mother's Day, and each of you can invite a special guest." But Stella has two dads and no mother, so she worries about who to invite. Her classmates can all invite their mothers and Howie even has two. But her friend Jonathan suggests that she invite all the people in the family who give her kisses when she is hurt. So Stella's invitation is for Papa, Daddy, Nonna, Aunt Gloria, Uncle Bruno, and Cousin Lucy who go with her to school on the big day. Illustrations are very appealing for their colors, their child-like faces, and diverse children. A gentle story about problem-solving, where some of the characters just happen to be same-sex. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #85,741 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #412 in Children's Parents Books #1,045 in Children's Holiday Books (Books) #5,765 in LGBTQ+ Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 319 Reviews | ## Images ![Stella Brings the Family - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Xrk8TP8NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A favorite in our family! *by L***A on October 24, 2019* My 6-year-old and I both love this book!
