Because what a beautiful family story.
When cartoonist Charles Danziger went through the surrogacy process to start his family, he decided that there should be a story about it.
"I wanted to find a way to introduce the topic of surrogacy to children and families in a charming and warm-hearted way," Danziger, creator of illustrated parenting blog Boys in 'Burbs, says. "Since I couldn't find any of those stories, I decided to make one myself."

The cartoon series "All Our Wishes" tells the tale of two father mice who want to have a baby.
Danziger, who has a 2- and a 19-month-old son with his partner, says of the cartoon: "I hope it will reinforce the idea that the big difference between kids born through surrogacy and other kids is...nothing!"

"Every child on the playground might have questions about how different families form," Danziger says. "Surrogacy is becoming more and more common, and what better way to educate children than through cartoons."
Here's a sneak-peak of the series...
