mais um livro que facilmente eu compraria pra ler na escola pras minhas crianças! Nos tempos em que vivemos é muito importante que retratemos com naturalidade os varios tipos de familias existentes! Fiquei tocada com a história!

I am in love with this book! A Tale of Two Daddies is so sweet. It is lovely to read a book that addresses LGBT family dynamics the way children do... with curiosity! Dialogue between the two children is kind and I adore that the drawings are viewed from a child's eye level (pants level).

As a clinician, I’m always looking for books to use in therapy with children (and adults). Books provide a safe way for children to connect with emotions and feelings of the characters in the story. Representation is so important. This was one of those books that allows children to see themselves in.

A Tale of Two Daddies by Vanita Oelschlager is a great companion book to A Tale of Two Mommies by the same author. They are both good books to add to your library if you want to show your children that there are different ways a family can look like. Both parents participate in tasks that are traditionally seen as masculine or feminine, which shows that there is not always the stereotypical "mom or "dad" in every family. Once again though, it IS very repetitive and may get old quickly if you have children that want the same book read over and over again. This one also includes the same step-by-step how-to for the illustrations by Kristin Blackwood and Mike Blanc.

Another brilliant book from Vanita Oelschlager. In this book we see a conversation between a boy and a girl about her two dads: Poppa and Daddy. Both fathers have slightly different roles in her life but it is clear that they both love her very much.

It is always brilliant to see LGBTQ+ themes, especially within children's book and this book provides great representation.

Lincoln is curious about the little girl and what her two dads help her with. Going through questions of which dad helps you with this or that. It was really cute.

The illustrations were beautiful and super simple!

This book would be good for young children to learn that having two male parents is the same as having mixed gender parents. Simple and to the point at a level that a young child could get the message. Love and caring is part of being a family and parent - simply and directly.

A Tale of Two Daddies is a wonderful, charming, little story that brings to light some very important issues (in a very friendly way!).

Our little friend has two Daddies - Poppa and Daddy. Poppa is good at braids, Daddy takes care of her when she's scared. They split all of the important Daddy related items, because she has two wonderful Daddies to help her out! She explains to her new friend all of the fun ways Poppa and Daddy help her.

The book is very simple and sweet. It's perfect for young readers and is a wonderful way to explain to kids why their friend might have two Moms or two Dads. The book is progressive and positive, and I love that. It works in all of the best ways.

I absolutely love the cartoon-y pictures. I think it fits the theme well and is very engaging. There's lots of colours and not too much to drain your attention away from the story. Near the end of the book, it gives a little example for how the art was made and that made this story even better. I thought it was very cool to see how they made the effects be softened!

Overall, this is another must read gem in the children's fiction department. Pick up this picture book, because it is so totally worth it.

Advanced Reader Copy received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the cuttest tale's book I seen this year.

A Tale of Two Daddies tells about a chatting between two kids in a park. The boy asked about the daddies of the girl and her answers are completedly free of genders roles and we can see in them how she feels about the love and caring they give to her.

This 24 pages are amazing. The drawings, the colors and the kids lines are beautiflu and simple, easy to understand for everyone. I want this story in every public and school library in the world.

Review in panish version on Goodreads and Instagram.

Copia avanzada para lectores recibida de parte de NetGalley a cambio de una reseña honesta.

A Tale of Two Daddies retrata una conversación de dos niños en el parque. Un pequeño interpela a una niña sobre sus dos papas y ella responde a sus preguntas totalmente libres de roles de género y desde el cariño y contención que siente por parte de sus papas.

OK. No puede ser que tan pocas páginas me hayan encantado tanto. Me morí de amor. Tuve que ser asistida con un DEA para poder estar escribiendo esta reseña. Necesito ver este libro de cuentos en todas las bibliotecas públicas y escolares del mundo.

This is so cute. Such an easy read and I loved reading about life with two daddies from a kids perspective. As a future teacher I would recommend this to all the kids in the world.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of these books in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

In our first story A Tale Of Two Mommies we have a trio of young friends hanging out at the beach. One of the little ones has two mommies. This leads the other two children to ask questions of which mommy helps in certain situations. In our second story A Tale Of Two Daddies we explore the same concept except with two daddies and this time there are two children playing at the park. Both stories show children's curiosities through questions of parental duties when there isn't a mommy and daddy to split them but rather two mommies or two daddies.

I thought these stories were adorable. I loved the way the children's curiosity was shown as simple curiosity and nothing more. It was innocent and sweet. Told in a fun rhyme this story is sure to capture the attention of any little one who reads it. The pictures were bright, colorful and simply adorable in both books. I think these are both great books to educate young children about LGBT+ families.

I can appreciate children’s books that normalize all kinds of families. This is a great example of normalizing without othering. The illustrations are eye catching and the text is simple without being preachy. It’s a sweet story of a conversation between 2 young children, one of whom has 2 fathers. The back and forth is cutesy ( but in a way that will appeal to both caregivers and children). My 5 year old really liked this one because, even though they weren’t all accurate scenarios for her family situation (she has 2 dads) it was relatable to her and she really enjoyed the simplicity of the language and the pictures. I would recommend it!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

A story with a great message. Dual Dad parents are different but also the same. Fantastic illustrations throughout which draw you in to read the whole book. Would definitely recommend to parents whose children are wondering about other kids with dual Dad parents.

A cute story of a little girl and her two daddies. There is no certain role for either daddy; they are both involved completely in her life. Her friend asks her all these questions about what her dads do and she answers, showing that both her daddies love her 100% completely.

I grabbed this book one night at bed time and decided to read it for my girls. My husband surprised me by jumping into bed, grabbing the book, and announcing that he wanted to read it. He definitely made this momma very happy. I love that he, as well as myself, are teaching our daughters that families are all different and they don't have to be just like us to still be a family. Acceptance is a huge deal to me and this book was truly great. It portrayed a sweet conversation between two friends about her life with two dads. I love that there were no cliches in it, no preconceived notions about gay dads. It was just an amazing description of family and I absolutely loved it.

I was really looking for a quick read so I decided to see what Netgally had available. Childrens literature is NOT my usual “go to”, but I wanted to see what type of books they were making for kids these days. I was looking for something fresh (not anything like Caillou).

I wanted something about STEM, or non traditional families. That’s when I came across ” A tale of two Daddies” by Vanita Oelschlager.

The book is a conversation between two kids, a boy and a girl. The girl has two daddies. The boy (like any other child) is just asking her random questions about which daddies she goes to for which scenario.

When the book started I thought it was going to be one of those typical “this dad is the mom” sort of thing but I was wrong. Each scenario is fit with a Dad, and some scenarios don’t have a Dad answer, for some it’s both.

I thought it was a great non judgmental way for kids to talk about same sex couples. The female main character never got offended and just answered his questions.

It was a nice change of pace (this book came out in 2010). The illustrations were fantastic! Simple yet beautiful.

Who is this book great for?
I believe this book would be great for childcare centers or at home if you have little ones around. Or maybe you’re like me and just want a quick, breath of fresh air read.

My rating for this book is 4.5 stars

My friend, Jennifer, has this amazing book review site called Raise Them Righteous, and I have to honor of being a guest reviewer for her. Her site focuses on LGBTQ literature, but “beyond LGBTQ kid lit, I review socially relevant children’s, middle-grade, and young adult literature that deals with race, class, gender, sexuality, immigration, and a variety of other issues that children need tools to think and talk about critically.” Please take a look at her site and follow for information about some amazing books.

A Tale of Two Daddies, written by Vanita Oelschlager and illustrated by Kristin Blackwood and Mike Blanc, tells the story of a young girl and what life is like with her Daddy and Poppa. A friend asks her a set of questions about which dad has which role in her life, ie which makes breakfast, which coaches soccer, etc. She answers with either Daddy, Poppa, both, or neither. The questions and following answers are all told in rhyme, which is catchy for kids.

I have two boys and a husband, and it’s certainly true that we each have our “roles” in our children’s lives. There is no such thing as a typical family, but in any family, things have to get done. Laundry, shopping, chores, as well as taking care of illnesses, baths, and giving snuggles. This book clearly illustrates that it really doesn’t matter that she has two dads because she is clearly loved and taken care of in every way.

The only disappointing thing about this book was that you never really get to see her interacting with her dads in the pictures. You can see their legs or maybe an arm in a few of the illustrations, but most of them are of the girl and her friend or simple images like of a sun and a moon. I would much rather have readers see the two loving dads tending to their daughter’s needs, especially since this is a book aimed at younger readers, and pictures are a huge focus for them. Overall, a quick, easy book, but the impact is meaningful.

Does a great job of normalizing same gender parents without relegating a "mom role" and "dad role." However, it was kind of boring and repetitive, and the "clip art"-style illustrations weren't my cup of tea.

This was a cute children's book and also an informative one. I like that in this way kids got to learn more about LGBT+ community.

Like "A Tale of Two Mommies," this is a sweet and simple book where a child with two dads answers a curious friend about which dad does what (takes care of a skinned knee, catches frogs, bakes, etc.). Like that book, sometimes it's one parent, sometimes another, sometimes both, and sometimes the child can do those things herself. And yes, it's a rather silly thing to ask (nobody asks my kids which jobs their dad does and which ones I do), but it can show children with no experience in the topic that loving families are just like any other loving family. Like the author's other books, all proceeds go to charity, which is wonderful.
