Well-intentioned tale about adoption has mild language.

Language includes “b—-,” “hell,” “damn” and “a–.” In response to unspecified racial slurs, protective older kids stand up for their younger siblings. A teacher complains that a teenager has made a science joke about snow men with “snow balls” and snow women with “snow-varies.” (108 minutes)

After a surge in online readership in 2016, the paper was profitable for the first time since Bezos made the purchase in 2013.
