25 years ago, two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo bonded, caring for an egg that hatched into a chick named Tango. The true story inspired authors Justin Richardson & Peter Parnell, becoming “And Tango Makes Three,” a feel-good, beautifully illustrated story about family dynamics, love, identity, and acceptance. On the page, readable and family friendly – off the page, an emblem of the censorship and freedom of speech firestorm that has engulfed our nation’s libraries and public schools. The story has become ubiquitous in literary and education circles and the penguin characters – real and in the story -- have become political warriors in and of themselves.July 20, 2024
