Sign in to write a reviewNo preparation is necessary. This book can be read cold. Its simplicity and positive focus make it an easy and gentle entry point for conversation. The illustrations and text are self-explanatory and heartwarming. A parent hears their child say, "Why does Sam have two mommies?" or a parent with two moms wants to proactively give their child positive language and imagery for their own family.
A younger child (5-6) will connect with the specific acts of love: getting a scraped knee fixed, reading a story, getting a hug. They see the actions of their own caregivers. An older child (7-8) will understand the larger concept of family diversity and appreciate the book as a mirror for their own family or a window into a friend's.
Unlike many books about same-sex families that address the theme of being different or overcoming a challenge, this book's strength is its complete and utter normalization. The two-mom family is simply the loving, joyful center of this child's world. It is a celebration from within, not an explanation for outsiders.
This is a gentle, slice-of-life concept book. An unnamed child narrator describes the different but equally loving qualities of their two mothers. One mum is loud and silly, helping with building and piggyback rides. The other is quiet and cuddly, helping with homework and singing songs. The book moves through a series of vignettes showing the family's daily life, culminating in a comforting bedtime scene where the child feels completely loved and secure by both parents.
