Celebrating the beautiful diversity of families in our world, as a young girl tries to tell the story of her family in a class where creativity bursts beyond all Florida state-mandated lesson plans.

A story of creativity, imagination and resilience – a joyous celebration that welcomes LGBTQIA+ families, blended families, step-families, single parent families, chosen families and friendship, and a child finding beautiful ways to remember when her mother dies. And there's dance, and song, and Spanish and origami.

Written by Sheila Cowley and performed by Eugenie Bondurant, John Huls, Fernando Chonqui, David Warner and Jay Hoff, directed by Jim Rayfield, with origami by Jennifer Ring.

Recorded live at St Pete Pride and the LGBTQ Resource Center at the Gulfport Library. Many thanks to Creative Clay St Pete.

Made possible by the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance and the St. Petersburg Office of Cultural Affairs.
