Watch this show if you understand LGBT parents exist for young kids. This show has LGBT parents. I love when shows have LGBT added to it because so many kids have LGBT parents and lack seeing that because heterosexual parents believe it’s not appropriate. Go figure.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
