Mommy, Mama and ME

Product Information

As one review put it, this book “shares the loving bond between same-sex parents and their children. Share the loving bond between same-sex parents and their children in this hearttwearming story of family.

The book does not draw as much attention to the fact that the child's parents are a lesbian couple as it does to the fact that they love their child and are doing an excellent job as a normal parents who are doing everything in their power to care for their baby. In fact the books didn’t even touch the sensitive issues of homosexuality, they just zeroed in on the loving relationship between mothers, fathers, and children.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Small children like to see children like themselves in books just as parents like to see their family situations reflected in the literature their kids read. I think these would be great starting materials to teach any child that there are different types of families, that love comes in many different ways, and (I’ll reiterate) that what’s important in family is not the gender of a kid’s guardians but that all of the unit’s members love one another. Lesléa Newman (born 1955, Brooklyn, NY) is the author of over 50 books including Heather Has Two Mommies, A Letter To Harvey Milk, Writing From The Heart, In Every Laugh a Tear, The Femme Mystique, Still Life with Buddy, Fat Chance and Out of the Closet and Nothing to Wear.

I did like the book because it demonstrates that same gender parents can be loving and caring like any other parents. It shows that it doesn't matter whether the parents are two women, two men, or anything in between because they show the child love and acceptance, and that's all that matters. If I were a child, I probably would not have noticed the two moms and no dad, I would be focused on the activities they were doing. As one of the two moms in our family, I am always on the lookout for books with diverse family structures to share with our son.Similarly, Mommy and Mama make up a believable lesbian couple that doesn't resemble television's vision of what lesbians look like (long-haired models, etc. The author avoided the use of negative stereotypes, since she has vast experience in writing about LGBTQQ characters, particularly lesbian characters. As a result, sometimes board books are simplified adaptations of already existing picture books, and sometimes they are written with the intention of beginning and ending their lives as board books (though if you're Sandra Boynton, sometimes you'll see the rare board book to picture book crossover). The fact that black, Asian, Hispanic, and other ethnic groups readily purchased stories about all kinds of families that weren't their own race never really seemed to change their minds on the matter.

I enjoyed this book because it was very simplistic, easy for early readers to read and comprehend, and can be extended to early elementary students as a mini lesson to guide discussion around various family units.There is also a rhythmic pattern throughout the story, as the last word of the first page rhymes with the last word of the second page. I think children would be happy at the end of this story because both" Mommy and MAMA" are being very loving to their child. Rhythmic text and illustrations with universal appeal show a toddler spending the day with its mommies. I would emphasize are the great things the moms are doing and try to relate to things that their parents do for them. My son loves this book and brings it to us to read constantly - I think it's going to be a favourite!
