Sweet, cute and adorable and so so important.

This book is the simplest way to put how it wouldn't matter if a kid has two mommies or two daddies instead of one daddy and one mommy. The child can still grow in a healthy, nurturing environment if all they receive is care and love. It is not necessary for children to have parents from both genders and I wholeheartedly agree.

Thank you Netgalley and Vanita Oelschlager for the ARC.

Pretty similar to The Tale Of Two Daddies, which I also enjoyed. I'm always looking for more queer rep books to read with my daughter.

I like the style of this, posed as just a regular conversation between children who are asking questions to understand how the world works.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing the ARC of this book. These are my honest thoughts.

I love the premise of this book! I am so happy to see not only is this book LGBT supportive but also racial diverse. This is a very critical component in our society right now. Provide this education while they are young.

First off, I think this should be a must-read for every child whether they have heterosexual parents or same-sex parents.

I just loved everything about it!! The message that not all families are the same and that's ok is definitely a message needed for today. Not all children understand why some kids have two mommies or two daddies, so this easy-to-understand book will answer those questions.

I loved this little book! Not all families are the same and that is perfectly fine.

This book is set up as a conversation between 3 children as they talk about how the one little boy has two mummies.

This is a great book for same sex parent families as well as a conversation starter for traditional families as well. It teaches our Littles that families are made up differently and that is not only okay but beautiful.

As always, thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review

An adorable book with a story to share with kids that highlight two mom families. I like that the perspective is from kids asking each other questions - which is likely what will come up in a kids' everyday life. Fun prose with lots of rhyming.

Didn't love that both mom's were white/thin/femme, but I suppose it is likely representative of some families.

This is such an important book, I’m so glad there is authors who are writing about this important subject, this book was so well writing and touching, I’m sure is going to help a lot of kids!
I will definitely recommend not only for kids with two moms but for every kid out there

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

A Tale of Two Mommies introduces us to a little boy who has two moms. It shows that, just like a child with a mom and dad, both parents often take different roles, but also often share roles, in their child's life. In a world where more families than ever before don't fit the "traditional" picture, this is an awesome reminder that every child that has two loving parents is extra lucky!

This is a great book for all libraries and schools to broaden kids' horizons!

As a member of the LGBTQIAP+ community, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for The Tale of Two Mommies and Daddies book. This book beautifully portrays the loving and caring nature of all parents, regardless of their gender. Vanita Oelschlager has done an exceptional job in emphasizing that parents, regardless of their gender, can be there for their children unconditionally.

I also want to extend my appreciation to NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this book, allowing me the opportunity to experience its heartfelt message before its official release.

Overall, The Tale of Two Mommies and Daddies is an important and inclusive book that not only celebrates diverse family structures but also reinforces the idea that love knows no boundaries. It is a much-needed addition to children's literature and a valuable resource for teaching young readers about the beauty of all types of families.

'A Tale of Two Mommies' is a cute story that subtly addresses gender roles in society and introducing the deconstruction of that idea to kids. And it showed that not everything has to be so plainly divisive, that both parents can fulfill the same role in some areas and that they are teaching their child confidence and independence ("I empty my own pockets at the end of the day.") It ended a bit abruptly in my opinion with no real indicator that the next page was endpages, but it was such a sweet story with an important message hidden between the words. I thought the scene with the kids underwater saying 'glub glub glub' and then "translated" was really cute!

This book was cute, I liked the interaction between all the children here. It felt like a nice exploration in curiosity about LGBTQIA families.

Basically this is the book based on Homo-relationship in which they are having a child (maybe adopted or from earlier bi-relation) to carry their family. However, I do not understand the concept to bring this topic up. This is afterall a picture book, which is meant to be for children and this is very serious topic for them to get it correctly. It is not just the answers they have to given but the sense to keep before answering to any question. It could have been better to explain the reason rather than answers. Right guidance always keep generations in check; and we must be thoughtful to that.

This was an adorable children's book that provides a quick story told through the voice of a little boy who has two mom's. His friends ask him if his two moms can do all the things that they think a daddy should be able to do and its great to see the boy explain that his moms can do anything dads can do. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC.

A Tale of Two Mommies is about a little kid who is answering their friends questions of who they goes to when certain things happen in their life. Various scenarios are discussed where the Momma or the Mommy is the main person who usually helps in that particular task. The child explains that there are also some special things that BOTH moms help them with.

It's an adorable way to help kids with two moms see themselves and be able to relate to characters in their stories and a great way for kids with more traditional families start to learn about family diversity and different dynamics within them.

We are a two mom family to two little ones who are currently in preschool. They loved this story and I definitely think that they are the absolute perfect target audience age to most enjoy this book. We will be sure to put this one on their physical bookshelves as well.

Easy Five stars!

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for granting us this free access so that we may share our honest review.
