Katy Has Two Grampas

Cover Image

Julie Schanke Lyford

Katy's school is celebrating Grandparents Day, and Katy is nervous. She doesn't want to introduce her grandpas in front of the class because she's worried that nobody will understand her lisp. To make matters worse, when Katy tells her teacher that she's inviting her gay and married ''grampas,'' her teacher thinks she means to say grandma and grandpa instead of grandpa and grandpa.

Will Katy build the confidence to speak in front of the class and challenge stereotypes?
Katy Has Two Grampas is based on a true story about love, support, and representation of a modern family
