Love Penelope by Joanne Rocklin and Lucy Knisley

Image result for love penelopeIn this book about Penelope, You (Mary Joy), Sammy, Hazel Pepper, “Mama,” Uncle Ziggy, Grandma Lorraine, Great-Grandma Grace, Nell, Rick, etc., Penelope is a soon-to-be big sister who knows about the world. Love Penelope is Penelope’s letters to “you” (Mary Joy) about how life is with two mothers.

It was a really heartwarming story about life in a different family from ours. Just a fair warning (not a spoiler), it gets really sad near the end and than it gets happy. Love Penelope is a great story and I think that there should be a sequel written by Penelope’s sister. I would recommend this book. It is a fun read and it is a great family read-aloud.
