Roof to roof, Federico the cat visits all his families everyday: Tadeo and his grandparents, Anna and her two Moms; Virginia, with her Mom and Dad, Paula and her two Dads… All of them different, all of them loved by Federico. Unconditionally.

This very sweet little tale is a warm-hearted introduction to diversity, empathy, and acceptance. Federico hides its core message in plain sight, matter-of-factly illustrating, without preaching or judgement, the universal, unconditional love the binds families of all shapes and sizes. A simple, subtle, delightful gem.
