This is a great book highlighting that having two moms is no different than having two dads, or a mom and a dad. In this family one mom helps the child with certain tasks and the other mom helps with other tasks, and they both come together to help with the really big stuff, just like any other family.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

A fun day at the beach where a young child answers questions his friends have about his two same-sex parents. Sweet and simple, providing more visibility to families that look different.

This is a very cute and wholesome book. It comprises questions two kids have for their friend, who lives with his two mommies, and his answers. I’ve found this to be very good and pretty realistic, because these types of questions are exactly what most kids have in mind when being introduced to same-sex parents and relationships. I think this is a brilliant book to use when teaching children about the different types of families around us.

Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with this copy!

Very cute. Would have liked a bit more in way of introduction, rather than a series of questions.

I felt this was a great story. It's informative and done really well. You definitely have to keep in mind that it's for a younger audience. I imagine this being helpful for a parent who wants to inform their children about people with different sexualities. I liked that the child shows in his conversation with the two other children that his upbringing isn't much different from anyone else. He's in a healthy nurturing environment. I liked it a lot. I will probably take a look at A Tale of Two Daddies as well at some point.

A Tale of Two Mommies by Vanita Oelschlager is short and sweet. I love the fact that it's a children's book teaching kids that it's okay to have two moms instead of just one. I love that it's normalizing gay parents rather than demonizing them for children to read. I love how it depicts that both moms will always be there for their son whenever he truly needs them. It teaches children that same-sex relationships and/or parenting can be normal and is normal for some people.

I received a copy from VanitaBooks via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sooo cute. This book is full of colours and children’s curiosity. It can be read to children who are living with a same sex pair but it should be read to children who are not. The language is easy to understand and the characters are diverse.

There is another book like this but it features a girl who has two daddies.

I got it as an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. Thank you.

Love the cheery illustrations and back and forth dialogue. Sweet book about how families love and take care of one another.

This whole series is so adorable and fun to read, the perfect message told in the perfect way and it's really great that picture books like this exist.
