Such a sweet book! I loved that each dad began to have a unique personality so you could anticipate what her response would be to each question. The artwork was beautiful also and really enriched the story.

"Who is your dad when you're sad and need some love"
"Both, of course"

A Tale of Two Daddies is a cute little kids book in which it will be easy to explain to a kid how, yes, you can have two dad's - in this case daddy and poppa - and have all the things a usual mom and dad do. You're scared? You need to have your hair in braids? Poppa and Daddy can help! You feel down? Want a house in a tree? They can help!

It's told in colorful nice cartoons of a little girl that has two daddies, and her friend Lincoln. All his questions about her two dads and her answers on how it's all normal just like it's probably is with him.

As a older sister of 4 kids, as well as an older cousin of... well many kids, many who aren't kids anymore, I think it's a well thought out book, that will catch the eye of a small kids as well as teach them how their little friend on school who has two daddies is just like them.

Cute, colorful, well written. Totally am going to read it to my small charges of brothers and cousins!

Super sweet and necessary for kids. All kids should learn from a young age that sexual orientation is completely normal and should be accepted.

My Thoughts:
A Tale of Two Daddies is a great educational children's book. It teaches kids about children who have gay parents. It helps children of gay fathers explain that they get as much love and attention as someone who has a mom and a dad. The illustrations are very well drawn. They show the child having fun with both fathers. They also show what role each father plays in the child's life. This book is great to teach children about lgbt relationships. I hope A Tale of Two Daddies is something that every child has the option to read.

I give A Tale of Two Daddies : 5/5

As much as I wanted to love this book for its representation on the LGBTQ+ community. I was weirdly offended by how the author executed her idea into this story.

A Tale of Two Daddies follows a boy and a girl having an honest conversation wherein the boy bombards the girl questions with regards to who does what between her fathers. In my eye, I wanted it to be more of the idea that people are different; that some have fun doing something over another type of work. But, it became more of "Who in this relationship is the female and the male?" Segregating this book into an awkward state of addressing the situation in a heteronormative idea.

More importantly, I am curious as to why the conversation actually uses children as its main character. In all honesty, I would not have been able to imagine or see in actuality two children of this age talking about something like this. Children are more honest and quite lenient when it comes to this ideas that they almost don't care.

Overall, I think what the author wanted to share was different from what I digested and so I highly suggest that you share your own opinion and read this book.

It is about a girl having two dads and her friend who wants to know how come,
Beautiful illustrations.
Thanks to Netgalley for this book.

I am going to mostly review this book as I reviewed "A Tale of Two Mommies" by Vanita Oelschlager, as she wrote the same book twice.

I wish I could have loved this book, as it is so important to have more and more books featuring queer families. Instead, I was deeply disappointed by this book.

This book is all about the heteronormative way of thinking of what a 'women' does and what a 'man' does, and applies it to a same-sex family. Straight people need to feel reassured by putting things into a box, with questions like: "which dad teaches you how to bike, which dad watches movies with you, which dad puts a bandage on you when you're hurt..."

This is not how kids behave!! Kids simply don't care about those questions! They may ask one of those questions, but not continuously for 24 pages! They would have changed topic a long time ago and would have simply played at the beach, like kids play at the beach and parents watch over them.

It feels like the perpetuation of "who is the masculine one in a lesbian couple", "who does what", and it is hurting, and utterly wrong.

Similar to A Tale of Two Mommies, this book deals with a young daughter answering questions from a peer about the role of her daddies in her life. It conveys a clear message…love is love. The illustrations are cute and so is this book.

This books is so cute . This is a perfectly adorable relationship of two dads and their girl. Though the questions are asked from the perspective of a boy who has straight parents(probably) , questions like who braids hair and who bathes her are awesome.
I just love there is absolutely no cliché. The dads are also painted in a clear perspective.
This book is recommended for everyone.

This picture book depicts two friends having a conversation. Which Dad takes care of each of the things that a little girl needs? With simple rhyming language the reader learns that both fathers love and care for their daughter. The book provides a nice introduction for learning about how different families nurture their children in similar ways. A good addition for a school library!

A Tale of Two Daddies follows a girl with two fathers and uses a rhyming question/answer format to share what the dads do with/for their daughter. This is a great book for sharing diverse family structures with children and helping them to relate to their peers.

Like a Tale of Two Mommies, A Tale of Two Daddies has fun illustrations and much needed LGBTQAI illustrations. The pattern of question and answer is a fun idea and I can definitely see kids doing this but for me, the text fell flat because there was too much focus on the rhyme scheme.

A cute and wonderful story!😊 I think this book is perfect for any diverse family. My children loved it just like they loved A Tale of Two Mommies!💙💜

Thank you NetGalley and VanitaBooks for allowing me to check this out.
A Tale of Two Daddies is a playground conversation between two children. The boy says he heard that the girl has two dads. The girl says that is right. She has Daddy and Poppa.

I thought this was really cute.
So many books about blended families start with "Why do you have two dads?" which I have always found is a ridiculous question.
I enjoyed that this one did not. It was a story of how and what each of her parents do in her life with the natural inquisitiveness all children have. A rather sweet way to discuss blended families with the tiny humans in your life and lots of colour and fun pictures to keep them interested.

Thank you to Vanita Oelschlager, VanitaBooks, LLC, and NetGalley for the advanced reviewer copy of “A Tale of Two Daddies” in return for an honest review.

On the heels of recently reviewing “Phoenix Goes To School,” the children book about a transgender child going to elementary and being in school for the first time, I absolutely wanted to do “A Tale of Two Daddies” and “A Tale of Two Mommies.”

I am very pleased at the turnout of all three of these books and about the idea of addressing all these questions children have about these subjects, about their friends, and their friends parents. I will be giving out copies of all three of these to my nieces and nephews in the future.

I love this book! As a speech language pathologist who works with young children, I am always looking for books to use to help children with rhyming. Not only does this book have that, it also has the positive theme of diversity. The little girl in the story has two daddies, and another child asks, 'Which daddy.....?" to her about different scenarios. What a lovely book! I will certainly add this to my professional library. The illustrations are cartoonish and would appeal to young children. Great book! Good present for the LGBTQ families in your life!

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Such a lovely book. A little boy asks his friend with two dads, which dad takes care of what things around the house and in life. I like this book because one kid respectfully asks questions about something he does not understand. I also like how the authors made sure that everything was not just daddy or poppa, but that some things they do together, and some things our girl is big enough to do on her own. A great book for any library or home, to help kids learn to discuss life different from how they know it to be.

This is a very sweet children's book about a little girl with two daddies. The book is written as dialogue between the girl and a new friend on a playground and is interspersed with pictures of the girl's daddies. It is written at a level suitable to preschool or toddler age children, so it would be an excellent introduction to families that may be new and unfamiliar to some children. I also think it could be nice for a child with two dads or two moms as they could answer along with the main character - "Which dad helps you with your hair?" or "Who helps you match your socks?" The art work is very cute and fun, always a plus with picture books! I would definitely recommend this book to parents who want to open their children's minds at an early age or help a family member or friend to feel more welcome!

These are such heartwarming books. I love them. Such a nice and adorable way of teaching kids how normal it is for someone to have same-sex parents. So important and significant.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing the book!

It was very cute but I didn’t see any real narrative to this or important underlying message outside the characters telling each other what each dad does. I’m happy it wasn’t stereotyped because it was something that easily could have been. Also, I liked that sometimes the little girl’s responses weren’t what we’d expect. I really just wish this story had more of a narrative than it being so linear.
