Our Subway Baby by Peter Mercurio
Publisher: Dial Books
Genre: Children’s (0 – 6 y.o.), Non-Fiction, LGBTQ, Contemporary
Rating: 5 Stars
Reviewed by Astilbe
This gentle and incredibly poignant picture book tells the true story of how one baby found his home.
“Some babies are born into their families. Some are adopted. This is the story of how one baby found his family in the New York City subway.”
So begins the true story of Kevin and how he found his Daddy Danny and Papa Pete. Written in a direct address to his son, Pete’s moving and emotional text tells how his partner, Danny, found a baby tucked away in the corner of a subway station on his way home from work one day. Pete and Danny ended up adopting the baby together. Although neither of them had prepared for the prospect of parenthood, they are reminded, “Where there is love, anything is possible.”

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s topic is Books I’d Want With Me While Stranded on an Island. Finding books for this topic was easy. The difficulty was limiting my list to ten!
Beauty by Robin McKinley-I know I’ve featured this book many times, but it will always be a favorite of mine.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien-Again, a series I’ve featured before, but I’d have to have them with me. I’m counting them as “one” book.
Mercy Thompson series-I love this series so much! Almost any book from the series would be welcome on the island.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell-Yes, I have three historical romances on my list, and I’m completely okay with that.
The Complete Tales and Poems by Edgar Allan Poe-This isn’t cheating because there are books that contain all his works in one volume.
Grimm’s Fairy Tales-I have several collections of fairy tales, but for the sake of the list, I’ll just pick this one.
My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows-I laughed so much when I read this! I think I’d need some humor if I were stranded on an island.
The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell-I’m about half way through this series, and am loving it. Picking one book is hard, but I’ll go with the first one for this list.
What do you think? Would you take any of these books on an island with you? What other books would you pick?
