In what way are heterosexual relationships discussed in elementary schools?
An elementary school book:
"Stealing Home
Thomas is happy with his life with Grandfather. Fishing, listening to baseball games, and putting together jigsaw puzzles in their small Florida home is, as Thomas puts it, "cozy." But when Grandfather's sister-in-law Linzy arrives from Chicago for an extended, perhaps permanent, visit, Thomas's sense of coziness disappears. Aunt Linzy is a vegetarian who objects to fishing, she doesn't understand baseball, and she seems obsessed with cleaning. Worst of all, Thomas's cat Ringo seems to be abandoning him in favor of the new arrival. Mary Stolz has created an entertaining and appealing novel about Thomas and his Grandfather, to follow the picture book Storm in the Night (Harper, 1988) and the beginning reader Go Fish (HarperCollins, 1991).
