This was a really cute book that brings up a discussion about lgbtq relationships in a way that will help kids understand different family units. This is a book that my wife and I will share with our kids in the future.

Thank you NetGalley and VanitaBooks for allowing me to check this out.

A Tale of Two Mommies is a beach conversation among three children. One boy asks another boy about having two mommies. A young girl listening in asks some questions too.

This was just as cute as A Tale of Two Daddies.
A great way to get kids engaged and educated on blended families without any of the usual awkwardness you find in books discussing blended families.
Just a couple of kids asking and answering questions.
Since blended families are just a family like any other I really enjoyed the way this author has chosen to discuss them with all the innocence tiny humans have.
Fun pictures and a day at the beach hanging out.
Totally something to share with all the tiny humans in your life!

Look, I'm more neutral that liberal. My answer for the most pressing political questions are "well, it depends on the individual". I hate grouping people into clumps of right and left wing. Most people around me know that my views range from Jordan Peterson to Stephen Colbert - my beliefs exist on a spectrum of politics. So I love it when books like this come about that just spread love and equality in the right way to kids and adults alike.

The book does so in a format where the little boy's friends ask the questions, and he answers them. It's also a way to show the children with heterosexual parents that there's no strangeness about it. Kids are naturally curious and need to find out before prejudice is dropped on them.

A tale of two mommies is fantastic. It not only highlights that there is nothing wrong with having gay parents, but it also highlights the stereotypes of gender roles.

This book really highlights the question: why DO you care if someone ELSE is gay? How does it affect YOUR life? It doesn't. It really doesn't. Get over yourselves, people.

And don't get me started on the illustrations - they are gorgeous!!! They flow and give a flair of freedom - to me, it almost represents a freedom that wasn't there before. The freedom to love who you want to love.

I also love that there are things only the little boy likes to do! :)

The other aspect of the book I enjoyed immensely is that the mothers' faces are never shown. why? Because anyone can be a gay mom. The author tries to deflect the stereotypes that gay looks a certain way. I love it! The only clues you are given are more feminine or more masculine hands - and even then the "hands" perform actions that don't go according to gender roles.

Recommended for : Everyone. Besides that, I think this is important for adoptive (or with biological kids) gay parents who would really benefit for having this story for their little one. I really recommend this one to teachers, who can spread love and equality by reaching out to many different kids.

Thank you to Vanita Oelschlager, VanitaBooks, LLC, and NetGalley for the advanced reviewer copy of “A Tale of Two Mommies” 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.

1) Captivating illustrations
2) Good theme
3) Big text suitable for children
4) Simple language
5) Real life characters
6) Conversational type is interesting, but little repetitive feeling

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this for free in exchange for an honest review.

Simply adorable & a must read for all ages. It is rare that children's book captures the importance of just how many types of people are in this world-- no matter race, gender, sexuality, We are just recently beginning to see more and more coming of age books that include diversity and I love it!

Mommy & Momma 🙌🏻❤️

Thanks to netgalley for this one, I really enjoyed this one because it seemed really real as if this conversation could happen with children today. Hopefully this book will introduce lgbtq relationships to kids in a great way, I certainly think it will.

This book is the cutest children's book I have ever seen. A picture book with innocent questions young children might actually ask is such a beautiful way to normalise having two moms.

A cute picture book which normalizes having two moms with innocent children questions and nice drawings.
I don't know whats the target audience but I sure think it could be a book for kindergardens.

I really like this book! As a speech language pathologist working with young children and of diverse backgrounds, 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 boy in the story has two mommies, and another child asks, 'Which daddy.....?" to her about different scenarios. The illustrations were good, and added to the text. I will certainly add this to my professional library. 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.

My heart is bursting because this is such a lovely book.
The principle is simple and sweet, the pictures are very cute.
It gets the point across and paints an adoring family dynamic.
I hope many people out there (queer or not) show their children books like this.

An adorable and important story, I'd recommend it for any kid willing to take open a book and even those that are hesitant. The story takes the time to clearly and simply explain what the character's family looks like. It is a lovely story that is the perfect answer for those people that insist on saying that they have no idea how to explain queer families to their children. It's as simple and easy as A Tale of Two Mommies.

This was perfect. So adorable and precious. While none of it is sad, for some reason, it brought tears to my eyes. These kinds of books are so important!!! They display how simple, normal, and wonderful it is for this boy to have two moms. I absolutely loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing the book!

Adorable, timely, and needed. A great basic book for all collections.

I love the book..the story about three kids on the beach and one boy had 2 mommies...he called the momma and mommy..
so cute really....
It contain beautiful graphics , and dialogues from the kids...and they were really asked and answer logic one.
What we didn't dare to asked, those kids answered it.

I think this book, and other series, are recommended to read, for kids and parents, as well....
Love it.

A beautifully illustrated book about a boy and his parents. Each parent plays an important role and gender isn't an issue. Simple and sweet.

Absolutely adorable read. All classrooms should have this. Incredible story and drawings

This was quite similar book than A Tale of Two Daddies. It was ok to read and quite good. When I think this book, it was quite ok when there was colorful pages with quite simple stories/plot. It is easy way to got kids understand how in the World can be different and that someone have two mommies and not daddies or one mom and dad. I hope that many kids with their parents will read this book.

A beautiful picture book about the everyday life of having two Moms. I truly feel like this book should be read in classrooms, or at library functions, as it has such an important message to send out there to children. Whether your parents are a mommy and a daddy, two mommies, or two daddies, the important thing is that they love you and help you with your day to day needs.

A Tale Of Two Mommies starts off with a group of children playing together at the beach. Two children notice that one boy has two mommies, and no daddies. The two friends start asking him questions about who takes care of him during different situations. During their day at the beach they discuss which mommy helps him with his homework, which mommy is there when his friends are being mean, which mommy bakes him a cake, etc. The little boy explained that both his moms help with all sorts of different scenarios, and that some things he can even do himself.

I loved this book from cover to cover and will definitely be putting it on my gift list for all my friends children. I am happy to find that there is also another book in the series called A Tale Of Two Daddies.

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.

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.
