A Tale of Two Mommies gets the point across quite easily as having two parents of the same sex/gender doesn't mean that the kid(s) gets any less love. What I also like about the book is that it normalizes having parents in a queer relationship.

I loved this book. Mainly I loved that the story featured a racially blended family. It not only covered LGBT families but also touched on blended/adoptive families. I would like to see more books like this!

Beneath its adorable words and illustrations, this book has a wonderful message about the importance of teaching kids acceptance and of telling them to ask questions when they can't quite wrap their minds around something instead of judging what doesn't seem to coincide with their previous knowledge.

Thankfully, the society is moving towards a better place where people can be loved and appreciated for who they truly are and where our differences are respected, bringing us closer, not drifting everyone apart and causing gratuitous pain to so many. In order to reach that state of openess and undestading, adults don't have to shy away from such topics, especially given a certain improvment in LGBTQA+ representation in the media. This book right here stands as proof of that and I think it is a great material to be shared by both same-sex couples and heterosexuals ones with their children.

This was such a cute little children's book!
It was simple, colourful and funny, yet it conveyed the right message: that you don't have to have a mom and dad to be happy. Sometimes, families can be two moms and that's okay.

This is a fabulous book for all children. It teaches that loving parents are loving parents, regardless of gender. Highly recommended in today's world!

This is such a cute, little, five star worthy book. I love it. An easy way to introduce the idea of same-sex parents to young children. I wish we had books like these when I was young. This is definitely a book that my girlfriend and I will read with our future children.

Good:

It's an easy to read with fun illustrations. This child has two friends who are asking him questions about his parents. He answers them and each answer comes with a cute illustration. I love that these are set up in a Q & A verse where neither person is upset with one another.



They just are curious and want to know more. It's a 'safe space' for kids to get answers.


Bad:

In A Tale of Two Daddies their names their daughter called them was Poppa and Daddy. In this one the mom's are called momma and mommy which can be hard for kids to keep track of while they're reading.

Kids who are confused because of the similarities in names can use the illustrations to help distinguish the difference between the parents. Mommy wears a watch and Momma wears a bracelet and is depicted with nail polish.

Just like “A tale of two daddies”, this is a cute book about a family. This time a boy has two mommies and, throughout different adventures, the boy answers his friends’ questions about who does what in his family

Just like the other book, it tries to tell us that gender doesn’t matter, that things and chores aren’t gendered, aren’t meant for only one gender to make. Woman and Men can do whichever chore and thing they want. Men aren’t required to teach kids how to play football and Woman aren’t required to do the laundry and the dishes.

It’s a perfect book to show to kids. It has pictures and small writing, so your kids don’t need to be able to read perfectly. Kids aged 8-9 can read this perfectly. Or you can read to your kids! :)

A very cute book which teaches children and adults that gender does not decide who can help with the fishing, the baking, the caring, and everything else children need help with in life. While children might not try to be rude, these questions might be asked, It will help children of same-sex couples know how to answer questions such as these. This book would help answer the questions before they ask them of a child with same-sex parents. I think this would be a great book for teachers to read to students, but I doubt it would be allowed, which is a shame.

I give this book 5 out of 5 Friggin’ Cute Stars! Omgosh! This book was so cute! As some may know, I am part of an LGBT+ family so my children have 2 mommies and this was the perfect read for kids to better understand being part of a diverse family! I couldn’t sleep yet again, so I saw this cute little gem was on NetGalley as a “Read Now”. I read it excitedly and just fell in LOVE! The illustrations went great with the adorable little story and I can’t wait to read this book to my children tomorrow! The way the little boy main character explains his momma and mommy is so adorable! My almost 2 year old calls me “mommy” and my baby momma Andrea “momma” even though she likes to call me “the vagina mom”😂 so I could just relate to this cute little story and it was so freakin’ adorable. I recommend this book to diverse or open-minded families.

I hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend!💖📚🎄⛄💯

How precious! I positively adore the positive light this book cast same-sex parents in - no stereotypes, no cliches, no political agendas; just LOVE. The art is also super cute!

This book was clearly written for children and it was written well. It is simple and clear. The take away here is that two children have a normal conversation between themselves that illustrates a child's needs and wants being met by two moms.

This book is a kid-oriented blended family read where the child is questioned about his family. Illustrated colorfully by Mike Blanc.

This little book is a superbly illustrated one for kids, with lots of learning opportunities and lots of questions to answer. To me it seems it is about a two moms couple taking care of a little boy who clearly knows his moms’ duties, is aware of his expectations and knows he is loved and taken care of. It speaks tons about gender differences at a subtle level, through the pov of the little one who undestands his world pretty well. I warmly recommend it and considering purchasing it for my kids for when they grow up a bit more. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this arc.

Incredibly cute and well written. This book helps "normalize" same-gender parented families by showing that's it's really no different that a family with a mother and a father.

The illustrator brought this book to life! So well done are the illustrations that they seem to jump from the pages. With such a great message, I would love to handsell this book.

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 and is normal for some people.

A sweet, age-appropriate story about a non-traditional family. I loved the illustrations in this one.

5 stars.
This was so enjoyable! It was adorable and so heart felt. Plus I just love the cover! There needs to be more books like this one. I really really like seeing books about GLBT. This one was perfect for helping kids understand what having two mothers is like. Its told in a poetic way which makes it a nice read. Its just a beautiful book. But not only is it about having two mothers, but also a mixed race family which is so common now. I would definitely recommend this, i just loved it!

A cute little book that can help explain families that are different than what children are used to..but are still great!
