Much like 'A Tale of Two Daddies', this book was sweet, adorable, and something I think kids and parents alike will enjoy.

A Tale of Two Mommies is basically a story in rhyme between two curious children and a child they meet on a beach. It's a powerful and simple story explaining that each mom loves and cares for them like normal parents do. Love is love no matter what form it comes in.
The illustrations are gorgeous and colourful. Very suitable for the targeted age range.

Thanks to Netgallery and the publishers for giving me a copy of this book for a full, frank and honest review.

A Tale of Two Mommies was such a cute children’s book about a little joy sharing about both of his mommies to two children at the beach. He explains which mommy does each task and sometimes both mommies do the tasks together. This is an excellent way to share with young children about having same sex parents and how there are all different kinds of families.

This story is very well done. It really shows the curiosity of children on family differences is sweet and refreshing. It will be a great way to start a conversation about different styles of families.

Special thanks to NetGalley for providing a digital copy in exchange for an honest review

This was just as cute as A Tale of Two Daddies. It's basically the same concept, only it's a son with two moms instead of a daughter with two dads.

just like with the first one, I think this is the perfect kind of story for kids to read. It's cute, and shows two mothers are just as capable at parenting as a mother and father. It's exciting o know that kids have access to diverse books like this to grow up with

It’s wonderful that I’ve been finding more and more children’s books with LGBTQ+ representation. Every family is different and this book is a wonderful example of that. It helps answer questions children may have and explain that although a child may have two mommies, that they’re family the same and as unique as other families.

I loved the representation of the book. I feel this is something that needs to be shown more in children’s books. I also loved the illustrations and messaging. It shows how non-traditional families love the same and is clearly shown in this book.

Having books that show a same sex family is so important. As a same sex family, we know how hard it is to find diverse books that help our children relate. This is a great choice for any younger kiddo and I highly recommend it.

Cute book for young children to help explain why not all families look the same but all families should be love. I like rhyming and the many, large pictures for children as well.

Adorable! Sometimes adults have a hard time communicating concepts to children, and this book does a great job framing in a way that is fun and understandable. I would like to see more books like this.

This book made me cry, in a really good way! It is just so sweet in its simplicity, a beautiful reminder for people that a family is just a family, regardless of whether the parents are of the same or opposite sex. It was adorable to see the kid leading such a wonderful childhood, feeling supported by both of his mothers and enjoying experiences with them. A very important read that I wish everyone could have a chance to enjoy, not just children. 5 stars and I probably won't shut up about it for a while (or ever). Would love to see children reading this at schools.

What a sweet story of that portrayed that everyone has different families and all families are beautiful. I felt like the art style wonderfully complimented the story. This book is really important in this day in age for kids to see that it's okay that families are structured differently. It's beautiful and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

This is a very cute and wholesome book. It comprises questions two kids have for their friend, who lives with his two mommies, and his answers. I’ve found this to be very good and pretty realistic, because these types of questions are exactly what most kids have in mind when being introduced to same-sex parents and relationships. I think this is a brilliant book to use when teaching children about the different types of families around us.

Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with this copy!

Another great story about how families are different. Perfect for explaining to kids that people have different people in their family and they all do important things.

I was excited for the premise of this book, but it would not open on any of my devices. I will look for it in other formats because I am still interested in seeing it.

This one was so cute. I loved it, and really enjoyed it. The art style is so adorable and super fitting. I just love the way it is drawn and the color palette is quite nice. I also love the message of that moms can do and fill any role that their child may need. The writing was short and cute, and the cover was adorable as well. Overall, I loved the concept and the tone. I really liked how having two moms is completely normal and absolutely beautiful.

Another absolute delight of a book. I adored A Tale of Two Daddies and i jumped at the chance to read this. An adorable conversation between three little kids, with enthralling sketches and vivid colors. An insightful and enjoyable read for all the little ones out there.
