- Lily, a curious and contemplative 7 year-old, lives with her two fathers, introduced through her narrative. We meet Daddy Charlie, her cake-baking yet pragmatic father, who "helps daddies and mummies find babies." When a girl at school criticises Lily's upbringing, it is clear through Lily's comedic retort that Charlie's morals have been instilled in her. We then meet Daddy Arthur, her imaginative, fun-loving father, who "writes stories for his job". Lily's favourite, Pebble Moon, is a fantasy about a fisherman 'inventing' the moon from one of his wife's favourite pebbles, bringing her happiness and love. As Lily reflects on the notion of love, we meet characters in her world, such as Polly, her best friend, Polly's snotty boyfriend Leighton, Mary and Mr. Anderson- mischievous villagers who frequent the back room of Mary's shop, and Mrs. Douglas- Lily's kooky art-teacher. One day, Lily unexpectedly witnesses her daddies arguing with a strange woman from Charlie's past, who is disgusted at Lily's unconventional upbringing. As a repercussion, Lily notices her family dynamic begin to fade, and is informed that a lady is coming round to discuss life at home. We follow Lily's quest to cheer up her daddies, turning to the story of the Pebble Moon to work out what true family means.—Anonymous
