I thought it was a very cute, simple picture book that easily explains how having two mommies is no different than having a mommy and a daddy. The pages rhyme which is always fun and i also enjoyed that the main character (a little boy) does some of the things for himself when his friends ask which mommy does what.

This is an adorable book for young children that helps answer some questions kids with cishet parents might have about what it's like to have queer parents. I wish it went a bit more in depth into emotions and social stigma, and that the majority of charitable proceeds went to programs helping queer people adopt children (or similar types of charities) instead of for MS research, but those are my only qualms with the book.

<p>"A Tale of Two Mommies" is an absolute delight to read! Filled with splendidly vibrant illustrations, this picture book is ideal for young learners and those who appeal to a more visually focused piece of literature. Told in the eyes of three children, the story focuses on an LGBTQ+ family and how they are no different than that of a heterosexual parent relationship. Through a series of questions and answers, the two children learn that the boy's family of two moms is no different than their own. The reading level and the content of the material is appropriate for both parents and educators to use for young school aged children, both for pleasure and as a learning tool regarding the importance of acceptance and acknowledging that no two families are the same. Short and sweet, I feel this is a wonderful tale to be added to anyone's book shelf and TBR list.</p>

Short, simple and sweet. I think our children need to read books with more diversity from an early age. We don't give kids enough credit and it is a shame some books like this are banned in places. Also the artwork is really cute.

Like the story with the two daddies, this little book tells us in colorful and cute pictures all about a little family.

A Tale of Two Mommies is about a boy having two moms. Story starts at beach boy playing with his friends who ask him questions about who performs what task that are usually done by dad.

Descriptions says lot about the book. Theme and lesson of this one was the same as of 'A Tale of Two Daddies' with beautiful illustrations and narrated in easy rhymes but questions asked by friends were different and he answered them very nicely. In this story it was mentioned that boy was sometimes facing problem of having same sex parents and some kids at school were not nice with him. It was noticeable how loving the boy was brought up by his both mommies in the story. I liked to learn about author and illustrator at the end of the book and how illustrator made art for book.

Lesson from the story: It is very important to teach children that not to look differently at kids who have different family. This story represented it in very simple way that everyone should accept family of same sex parents or different family and also help in bringing awareness that different kinds of family also do normal chores and love their children equally.

Overall, story was cute with simple yet important message. It should be in kids sections of all libraries.

This is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life! It's such a great book for young children, even if they don't have two mommies. It can help a younger child understand that a mom and a dad aren't necessarily the norm, and it's perfectly healthy and normal to have two mommies (or even two daddies) instead.
I wish there were more books like this out there for children and I hope this book becomes successful because we need more of this in our libraries!

Books like these are necessary.
I believe it's important to teach kids about different types of families since they are little so they can grow with a sense of respect for what is different.

This book was not my favourite but I celebrate the author for writing it and hope I can continue reading these types of books that teach love and acceptance.

Aimed at 4-8 year olds, this is a brilliant book for celebrating diversity and modern families. I'll share here the same review that I shared for the sister book 'A Tale of Two Daddies'; This is a very sweet book full of colour and lovely illustrations, with short and simple text. I had assumed that this book would be more about the 'why' of having two daddies as opposed to the things that daddies do, but I was pleased that the last page was representative of having two daddies working together to parent. I think this book would be great to help normalise same-sex parenting for children, but I can't help feeling that this book could have done a little bit more. I can't fault the illustrations though, they are really fab!

Books like these are important for our society right now. I feel like the normalisation of something previously seen as "abnormal" is going to benefit our society immensely.

Loved reading this book. It was nice how mommy and momma were not as per stereotypes. I liked how they raise the kid.

As an elementary school counselor, I thought this book was great. Children say the darndest things and sometimes ask even harder questions! Sometimes, it becomes a thought-provoking, walking on egg-shells kind of thing to even begin to answer them! This book gets it right! It helps children to understand that their questions ARE warranted and are okay to ask. Plus, it allows them to see that families are not “one size fits all”. They come in all forms, but what connects them is the love they have for each other. This was an awesome take on a difficult topic to explain to kids. Good job!

Cute book for young children that touches on the relationship between an LGBT couple and their child. Wished it went even deeper into the subject for slightly older children, but thought it was a decent start to the conversation.

A Tale of Two Mommies is indeed perfect for any non-traditional family, but it is also brilliant for starting a discussion within any family. We desperately need more picture books depicting non-traditional families - representation is key. I loved the rhyming questions from the two other kids, and how he said "I do that" in response , revealing that everyone in the family: both moms and him, have roles or things they are good at and help each other with. I kind of like that we never see the moms' faces, it kind of lent a children's perspective from their eye level.

This was short and sweet. It beautifully portrayed the homosexuality and make the children understand the value of family. The illustrations were beautiful and the little conversational poetry among the children was cute.

Like "A Tale of Two Daddies," this book centers around a conversation between friends which show that both parents contribute equally to the responder's upbringing. The message to be inferred is that chores are not divided by what we would traditionally attribute to one gender.

Love the cheery illustrations and back and forth dialogue. Sweet book about how families love and take care of one another.

I loved this book. A cute story about a boy who has two mother's to take care of him at home. The illustrations are beautiful the question and answer dialogue is very well written with required details. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
