On the eve of the admissions cycle for New York City kindergartens, Alex and Greg Wheeler have high hopes for four-year-old Jake. The director of Jake's preschool encourages them to accentuate Jake's gender expansive behavior to help him stand out. As Alex and Greg navigate their roles as parents, a rift grows between them, one that forces them to confront their own concerns about what's best for Jake, and each other.
After years of being the absolute center of the family, little Molly Monster is about to get a sibling. Molly is happy and has knitted a lovely bobble hat for the new baby's head. In Monsterland, the mothers lay the eggs, and the fathers keep them warm, all the way to Egg Island, where monsters are hatched. But Molly can't go together, she's too little. The next morning, when the parents drive away, she discovers, that they left the hat, that she knitted, and so decides to follow her parents.
