 “Zapped” by Prudence Breitrose 663 1024 Reader Views Kids
There’s no Mickey Gerbil. Gerbils never get to star in children’s books or drive cars and are never depicted as knights rescuing princesses. In short, gerbils feel disrespected. But everything changes for the gerbils when Joe Newman’s father invents the Nanozap – a device that can shrink anything to the perfect size for these slighted rodents. A group of gerbils, with the help of Joe and a gerbil so smart he’s known as Einstein, sneak to the Nanozap and begin shrinking. But when messages from Lord Travis, the gerbil leader, suddenly change tone, it’s up to this unlikely group to save the gerbils’ world! read more

A more “modern” view could be any number of people included – the options of dual/single parents, being a hetero- or homo-sexual couple, and friends who provide support and encouragement might be on the list, as well. While individual situations aren’t perfect, and people have little control over other’s actions and decisions, it is no secret that the most secure and foundational “family” includes two loving parents who teach the child(ren) verbally and nonverbally, both socially and emotionally. read more
