About this deal
Are there people out there who will exhibit shock and horror at these loving little portraits and forbid them from their homes? I see the right balance as presenting LGBTQ people in a way that is within the Zone of Proximal Development of young children. In terms of the art, I've seen Carol Thompson's illustrations for books like Frieda Wishinsky's Oonga Boonga and Toby Forward's What Did You Do Today before. It's so important that little ones grow up and see their type of family set-up reflected in the books you share with them.
This book is very simple, it does not go into cultural diversity, but does have interracial parents.The book gives children a new insight into lesbian families without using any biases or chapter oversimplification. The best thing about these books is a message that lies embedded at its core, one that even most adults find hard to comprehend nowadays: there’s really nothing wrong with having two homosexual parents as long as they love their child and they can provide his/her needs.
Lovely book and beautifully illustrated but slightly better if your family is like that in the book ie with two mums.Because the book is short and sweet, there was not a lot of room for different perspectives and values. there’s not a whole lot, but i never realised half of these even existed, and it’s so nice to have the excuse to sit down and read them. Mommy, Mama, and Me" is a heartwarming and beautifully illustrated children's book that lovingly portrays a same-sex family.
