My new best friend Lola and I walk to school together every day since I moved here! 

I'm so excited for my dad to come in next week and talk about his job as a veterinarian! Are you excited for career day as well Julie?

No. I think that career day is going to be boring. I don't get why anyone would be excited for it. 

Oh well I guess I'm just excited because my Dad gets to come to school for the day!

Well Lola not everyone has a Dad that is able to come to career day.

Julie storms into school leaving a confused Lola behind...

For the rest of the day Julie and Lola don't see each other...

After explaining the situation to her Mom, Lola asked why did Julie not have a Dad...

Well Lola not everyone has a Mom and Dad like you do. Everyone has different types of famliies and that's perfectly normal!

After having a long conversation about the different types of families there are and how every family is unique, Lola knows that tomorrow she has to talk to her best friend...

After walking to school for a few minutes in silence...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings

No, I'm sorry for not telling you that I only live with my Grandma Louie. I didn't mean to get upset. 

I know that everyone has unique families and I would love to meet your Grandma Louie!

She would love to meet you too! Our families should have dinner together! 

Dinner was a success! Everyone got along and we learned all about each others families. We talked about how even though our families looked different we are still loved the same! Sometimes friendships can turn into family too.
