Summary: Marius a cinq ans. Ses parents sont divorcés. Sa maman vit avec un autre homme et son papa aussi. Marius les aime bien tous les quatre. Mais un jour, sa grand-maman lui dit que "deux hommes ensemble c'est pas bien". Plus tard, Marius en parlera à son papa qui lui expliquera pourquoi des gens pensent ainsi. La maîtresse aussi pensait que des papas homosexuels c'était des bêtises, mais la maman de Marius lui a dit que ce n'était pas des bêtises, mais bien la réalité. -- Un ouvrage pour discuter de l'homosexualité et des nouvelles familles qu'elle crée. Les illustrations, toujours de grande qualité de Stéphane Poulin, ajoutent une dimension poétique et sensible à ce propos épineux.
