This book has been the most challenged book to read because I didn’t agree with the moral of the story. This book is about two male penguins who are a couple and adopt a baby penguin. Reading this book, it helped me realize that I was very sensitive towards the theme. Therefore, I research the story to find more information about this book. According to the New York Times, Silo had a female penguin partner name Scrappy, breaking the relationship with Roy. I think that Roy and Silo were good friends working towards a common good instead of being in a gay relationship. I did learn an important lesson...don't buy books and give them to your children without reading them yourself first! We must be aware of the books we are reading and the message those books are sending. I will not recommend this book for the reasons mention above.
