Mommy, Mama and ME

Product Information

You may be familiar with the tale of the Very Hungry Caterpillar and what he eats over the course of a week, but now it’s time to join him as he makes his way home to bed. My son loves this book and brings it to us to read constantly - I think it's going to be a favourite!

The two mothers, however, are represented in a positive light, showing that they have a happy family with the characters smiling in each image. The book walks us through a young boys family which consists of two mom's, one that is referred to as mommy and one that is referred to as mama. It is age appropriate for beginner readers and the activities the characters are doing will definitely gain interest and help children relate it to what they play with their family.Featuring a vibrant rainbow design, and our super-sized Q logo, you won't find a more stylish way to make a statement. Whether intended for the child of same-sex parents, who needs to see her reality reflected in the books around her, or for the child of heterosexual couples, who needs to see that families come in every shape and size, this (together with its companion, Daddy, Papa, and Me) would make a lovely gift! 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.

In fact, it's a little hard to tell the difference, other than by what the child itself describes, making both parents truly equal. From hide-and-seek to dress-up, then bath time and a kiss goodnight, there's no limit to what a loving family can do together. No matter what this family does, however, they do it together until at the end of the day, "Now I'm tucked in nice and tight.I think one of the things I like the most about this book is the fact that like that delightful And Tango Makes Three, the whole point of the book isn't wrapped up in the fact that these families have homosexual parents. For a child with 2 moms it will help them portray themselves and identify their family environment as being conventional.

Rhythmic text and illustrations with universal appeal show a toddler spending the day with its mommies.

They are presented separately on some pages, showing what they help the child with such as reading a story or bathing, but also show the mom's helping the child do things together. In artful mixtures of pastel-colored illustrations and rhythmic, playful voices, these books feature a day in a life of a lesbian and a gay couple. I especially appreciate the fact that it's a board book, and therefore meant for the very young child, as I cannot think of any other early childhood books in a similar vein.
