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.

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.

A Tale of Two Daddies by Vanita Oelschlager. Illustrated by Kristin Blackwood and Mike Blanc. VanitaBooks, LLC. Children's Fiction. LGBTQIA. This rhyming story focuses on a cute little girl with braids who has two fathers who are in a same-sex relationship; one is dressed more casually than the others. She answers a multitude of innocent questions from her little friends, who are curious about this nontraditional family. Thanks to NetGalley and VanitaBooks for providing this ebook for review.

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

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.

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.

This is a very good book for young children to understand having same sex parents, specifically mothers. It's told in a rhymning pattern that engages the child and makes it fun to read and understand. The illustrations add to the overall messages conveyed throughout the book.

This was super cute and good for children to learn about different familiea.

Vanita continues to shine in her latest work that I plan to implement in my class. Always awe-struck by her books.

Once again another well done addition to an ever expanding repertoire. In this book we have a young boy answering questions surrounding his family that has two moms. Not unlike A Tale of Two Daddies each question is posed to highlight the similarities between our main character’s family and other families. To create understanding and empathy.

The artwork was, of course, vivacious and beautiful. The story takes place on a day at the beach so there are more two page spreads which really allow the illustrator to go all out and give us great landscapes.

I enjoyed the writing more this time as every line rhymed and so it did not throw off the rhythm. A great improvement from the first book. I do hope this series makes its way into school classrooms to begin to teach tolerance from an early age.

Happy Reading

Great short read for children about having two mother's. This is a wonderful look at the mundane lives that LGBTQIA people live - we deal with our kids "pets" that they bring in from the outdoors, we kiss boo-boos, we bake cakes, we go to PTA meetings.

It's a lovely book to show that we're not different at all!

Thanks to Netgalley and respective publisher.

Cute and lovable conversation in poetry about a child who has mommy and mom.
Appealing one.
Love to read again and again.

A very sweet and well written book. It addresses the subject at just the right tone.

4.5 out of 5 stars.

A Tale of Two Mommies by Vanita Oelschlager (author) & Mike Blanc (illustrator) is a charming book about a young boy talking with another boy and girl about his two mommies, Mommy and Momma.

I enjoyed this book, but I didn't give it five stars because I felt that it began and ended really abruptly. Perhaps that's how the author intended it to be, but it felt awkward to me. Outside of that, I really enjoyed the story.

The illustrations are brightly colored, engaging, and delightful. There is a diversity in the characters. The two mothers appear to be caucasian, as is the little girl the young boy is talking to. The protagonist of the story is a little black boy and the other little boy is Asian. I appreciate that the author/illustrator took the time to make the characters diverse.

I also loved how the questions were very much kid-oriented. They're great questions and answers as far as which Mom helps the child with various things.

I would definitely recommend this book as a good LGBTQ resource!
