Premise: A little boy is having a conversation with a couple of his friends while they play at the beach. Since he has two mommies, they're asking him how that works at home: "Which mom is there when you want to go fishing? / Which mom helps out when Kitty goes missing?” To which he answers: “Mommy helps when I want to go fishing. / Both Mommies help when Kitty goes missing." It continues like this, with a few answers thrown in that neither mother does something or that he can do certain things by himself. The ultimate message is that he has parents who love and care for him, no matter their genders.

I love how casually this book addresses a family with same-sex parents. The kids are curious (as all children are) about how a family different from theirs might function at dinnertime, playtime, or whenever. There is no negativity or spotlighting on the main character, just natural curiosity and a conversation between friends. While my son has met some of my friends in homosexual relationships, none of them have children. So, I appreciated that this gave me a positive way to approach the topic with him. And it spurred a great discussion between us about all different kinds of families! A great book for a modern household!

I will not be reviewing this book because the files are incompatible with all of my devices. I love the concept and the companion book "A Tale of Two Daddies".

I loved this, and my kids loved it. I've been trying to show them that there are all types of families, but where we live there isn't a lot of diversity or a strong LGBTQ community, so I hoped that a book would help. This one hit the nail on the head. :-) Thanks!

I loved the concept of this book: children discussing what it's like to have two same sex parents. It's executed gently, the author doesn't shove it down the reader's throat.

The artwork is a little flat at times and often looks like clip art. According to the back page, the artwork is all computer generated; I'd say that it was only moderately successful. The art isn't awful but it could have been better.

I would have liked if the story had a lead in to the questions being asked. We don't know if the kids knew each other beforehand or how the topic came up. The rhyming is forced at times and the text occasionally clunky. The kids ask a range of questions. Some reviews I've read questioned the author's choice of questions that the children ask but having taught several children over the years with same sex parents, the questions seemed on target to me. There were a few questions I'd have expected that weren't in there but overall I thought the content of the text was fine. The book ends abruptly, as if the author had run out of ideas.

It's not a great book but the topic is respectfully handled, the artwork is adequate and it's a sweet book.

I received an e-galley from the publisher for review.

I enjoyed both of these stories. I think they handled the LGBT theme quite well for children's books.

I love the premise of this book, and how it treats a kid and his two moms pretty much like any other family. There definitely need to be more books like this in children's literature. But I just wasn't that impressed with the book itself. The whole things seemed redundant and not at all interesting except to maybe the youngest of kids.

This was a sweet and fun book to read. I'm sure it will be a welcome addition in same sex parent homes of two mommies, and maybe even two daddies. This book would also be great in schools to help all children see how much love two mommies can give to their child. I loved the artwork that went along with the story, and am sure the children will love it too. In a time where same sex parenting is still a bit taboo, this is a great book to have out there.
