|description_of_content=The children's novel features a family with two mothers.
|description_of_incident=The Davis County School District purchased the book in order to make the library selection more inclusive, particularly to reflect on a student who attended Windridge Elementary school had two mothers. After one kindergarten student checked it out and took it home, however, that student's parents raised a complaint. The librarians offered to move the book, which is targeted at a pre-reading audience, to the grades 3 through 6 section of the library, but the parents were unsatisfied with the compromise and delivered a 25-signature complaint to the school board. [http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-lesbian-book-utah-elementary-20120604,0,4155010.story] A 7-member committee of teachers, administrators and parents was formed to decide the book's appropriateness for the children's library.
|description_of_result=The committee decided that the book "didn't align with district curriculum standards," and was placed behind the counter at the library. Students now must bring a permission slip signed by their parents in order to check it out.
