Families Are Different

Written by Nini Pellegrini
Nico and her older sister, Angel, were adopted from Korea by a white family in the United States when they were babies. Angel struggles to figure out who she is. She realizes that there are many kinds of families. Some have two parents, some have one, and children don’t always look like their parents. What holds families together is love.
