Very sweet follow up to A Tale of Two Daddies. This has the same format of questions and answers between an a little boy answering questions about his two moms, and some new friends at the beach. With the same bright and friendly art style and charming rhyming style, this is another great addition to your inclusive children's library.

I am always looking for good books for kids which give representation to marginalized groups. I had high hopes for this book, but it just didn't meet expectations. There wasn't much of a story line, and despite have two same sex parents, it seemed the author was trying to force each parent into a stereotypical binary role. The writing is at a lower level than the projected age range, and this wouldn't be of any interest to the LGBTQ+ families I know or friends of LGBTQ+ families. People who aren't familiar with same sex parents probably wouldn't allow their children to read it, so I am not certain who exactly the target audience is.

A Tale of Two Mommies is a cute and informative story of that it's like to have two mothers. I loved how easily digestible this is for young readers, and also how there's emphasis on while it's different to have tow mothers, it's not that much different of a household dynamic to having a mother and father! I think this book will be great for teaching children empathy when observing household dynamics that are dissimilar to theirs, and I love how this book normalized LGBTQ parenthood!

This book was so cute! I absolutely love the inclusivity that is being brought into children's novels these days. It's definitely a slow start, and we could use a lot more, but this is such a perfect start! This book was just so utterly sweet and utterly cute. It makes me beyond excited for a little boy or girl to get to read this book and see their family included in a novel. It also can be even helpful for adults to realize that not every family needs a stereotypical father to have a happy or complete family. Two mommies are just as sufficient! Families came in all different shapes and sizes, and this book does a wonderful job of portraying that.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

It is totally necessary for children to understand how normal an LGBTIQ couple is, that it is like any other couple in the world and that we must continue to fight to erase any trace of homophobia in our society.

Graphically this work is charming.
