Nico and her older sister Angelica were adopted from Korea. Nico loves her parents, but sometimes she feels strange because she doesn't look like them. When she tells her mom how she feels, her mom explains that there are many different kinds of families, all "glued together with a special kind of glue called love." As she thinks about the families that she knows, Nico realizes that all families are indeed different. Now she doesn't feel strange at all. She's just like everyone else...she's different!
