Through Moon and Stars and Night Skies
A young boy remembers coming to this country to be adopted. He remembers how unfamiliar and frightening some things were in his new home, before he accepted the love to be found there. This tender story about a family formed through adoption leads LeVar to explore the variety of ways families are created-the Harris family has 2 children, both adopted; the Peck family is a single mother and 9 adopted children; the Abney family is a set of parents, 2 brothers and an adopted sister. Viewers learn that families are really created by love.

There are many different kinds of families. Just look around your neighborhood or at your friend's families. This is the time of year when we celebrate mothers and fathers. Mother's Day is in May and Father's Day is in June. Whoever makes up your family, be sure to tell them you love and appreciate them (even brothers and sisters) and not just on their special days.
