Anna's father is a well-known and well-respected journalist and author. He speaks out against hatred, even if it causes disruption for his family. He and Anna's mother are engaging and honest with their children. Though they can't always give their children what they want, they help them overcome obstacles and stand up for them when they are bullied. (Anna's mother grabs a boy by the arm who's throwing things at Anna and yells at him. The boys stop bullying Anna after that.) Anna's mother knows all of the teachers' names and all of the kids' names at school and is able to talk to her kids about their interests. Parents listen to their children's opinions and take them into consideration. Family, family friends, and (most) teachers are supportive and respectful of Anna and Max.
