The author and illustrator have done an excellent job depicting and describing the everyday activities of a child with two moms. We really love this book!

Great book!

As expectant mothers, we were so excited to find this book. It's easy to read and understand for a child. Cute illustrations. Recommended for families with same sex parents.

Great book

We found this book at our local library and my 20-month old daughter loves it, wants to read it every night now and we will buy a copy soon for her to have. Simple rhymes, vibrant pictures, and seeing her favorite toddler activities (e.g., helping to cook, reading a book, taking a bath) depicted seem to make this a winner. When we reach the last page, where the baby is tucked into bed, she leans down to kiss the page. I love that she can see something which resembles her own family life in print.

Wonderful Gift for Any New Parent!

Just like their book Daddy, Papa, and Me, Newman and Thompson have created a charming board book that depicts the gentle, loving relationship between a child and her/his parents. Simple rhyme and vibrant mixed-media illustrations are perfect for care-givers to share with their young children. Tricycle Press, Newman, and Thompson should all be highly commended for creating the first board-books representing same-sex families in a non-didactic way. Highly Recommended!

Nice LGBT-friendly board-book

The L-word counterpart to Leslea Newman's cheerful gay-daddies boardbook "Daddy, Papa, And Me," this is equally charming and lighthearted, with a happy couple taking their toddler out for a fun day in the park, then back home for some cooking, dinner, a bath, and the inevitable toddler-book good night. Lots of cuddling, love, tenderness and smiles. As with the other book, no apologies are made for the nontraditional couple, and no speeches are made either: the pictures speak for themselves. Also, the gender of the child isn't made explicit and the couple seems like it could be of mixed ethnicity, so it's a great gift for any number of family or friends.
