Heather Has Two Mommies by Lesléa Newman, Diana Souza
3.0
Cute book but definitely dated.
Just to clarify, the version I read was the anniversary edition and did not have the in vitro fertilization part in it. Interestingly enough, the library I worked for received the book from Newman herself, who seemed perfectly fine with this new version.
Anyways, it's not a bad book but there may be better options out there today. And as others mentioned, the pictures are really lacking for children.
I would recommend this book for same sex parents as a great beginning book for children who may be comparing themselves to other families at school. In the same vein, it can be great for many non-traditional families and for children who feel left out by not having one mom and one dad.
For thsoe kids with straight parents who may have no concept of same sex couples, And Tango Makes Three is probably the best book to introduce the concept. This book still seems to go slightly too much into detail in this context where as And Tango Makes Three presents it as a matter of fact instance in nature...if that makes sense. I'm not feeling particularly eloquent at the moment!!
