這是發生於紐約中央公園附屬動物園的一個真實故事。

動物園的管理員發現他照顧的企鵝裡，有一隻公企鵝Roy和另一隻公企鵝Silo互相唱歌，總是出雙入對形影不離，並對其他母企鵝都沒有反應，到了企鵝開始築巢的時候，Roy和Silo和其他的企鵝一樣，也建立了一個自己的家庭，共同生活。
後來同年紀的企鵝開始孵蛋〈公、母輪流日以繼夜的孵〉Roy也去撿了一顆像蛋的石頭，兩個企鵝很認真孵了兩年。管理員發現了這個情形，就撿了一顆需要被照顧的蛋，放在牠們的巢裡，牠們一看到那顆蛋，便知道怎麼做了，牠們耐心地，時時刻刻翻動那顆蛋，確定每個面都能均勻受溫，無論吃飯睡覺都認真地孵，終於蛋孵化了！生出來一隻小企鵝，管理員把牠命名為Tango，因為兩個人才有辦法一起跳探戈。Tango是一隻擁有兩個爸爸的企鵝，吸引了世界各地的人們來到中央公園看牠們。

*"In this true, straightforwardly (so to speak) delivered tale, two male chinstrap penguins at New York City's Central Park Zoo bond, build a nest and--thanks to a helping hand from an observant zookeeper--hatch and raise a penguin chick...Readers may find its theme of acecptance even more convincing for being delivered in such a matter of fact, non-preachy way." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

"A charming and adorable story that proves love isn't confined by a set of rules of what's right or wrong. Love is Love.” (Nathan Lane & Devlin Elliot)

"While this could introduce a discussion about various kinds of families, it's also a cheerful and endearing animal story that should please any aficionado of the zoo's penguin enclosure." (BCCB)
