A Delight!
This book is a delight! I love how the concept of Heather having 2 moms is introduced, but isn't the spotlight of the book (despite the title). Books like this can sometimes be santimonious, but this one isn't. Just perfect. Introduces the concept without parading it in front of the child or pointing it just. Just: matter of fact, like it's no big deal. The focus of the book is Heather being excited and nervous for her first day of school. The kids (4 and 6 year old) loved it!

Great for teaching my kids about different kinds of families
I bought this when I realized my 9-10 year old stepdaughter had never seen a family with two moms or two dads. She is stubborn and wouldnt engage in conversation about the topic, so I bought this. My intention was to read it to my 4 year old when the older step daughter was within earshot, hoping she would listen in. She did and her little world is a little bit bigger now. My 4yo loves this book, so it's a win for both of the kids. I end up reading it about once a month.

This book is absolutely wonderful. It shows how the most important thing in any family is love, and presents various family structures throughout the book to show how every family is special in their own way. The story is centered around Heather and her two mommies, however when Heather goes to school she realizes not everyone has two mommies. Each child in the class is asked to draw their own family, and you see various family structures (same sex parents, two parents, one parent, step-parents, grandparents only, etc). Ultimately the lesson is that all families love each other and are special. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to show family structures to their children. I bought this for my 4-year old twins and they love it.

Excellent! Just got this for my 5 year old daughter and I would highly recommend it. It came quickly and the story was quite nice. It showcased not only the same-sex parents of the title, but also multiple other family dynamics (both a mom and dad, grandparents, single parents, etc) in Heather's classroom to show that while different, Heather's two mom family is just as normal as everyone else's family. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

This book is a lovely read. There’s not many of this type, but an important topic to broach with your children, irrespective of what type of family dynamic you have.
