I was very pleased to find a book that shares a realistic point of view about families. Not only is this a child of african american heritage, this child also has a same sex family. I was pleased to see that families like these are not just ignored. This is a great book for children being raised in same sex families. It is also a great book for children in conventional hetrosexual families to help them see that gay and lesbian families are very much the same as their own.

I thot this book was a wonderful way to show once more that love truly does make a family.
All the colors of the rainbow represent the diversity in the world around us. Why should we only be able to pick one, or maybe two colors... celebrate this diversity, don't teach our children to hate. We must teach them to accept all people for their many different attributes and in no way to shun them because they they may have two mommies, or two daddies, or just one mommy and no daddy, etc... children can be cruel to each other at such young ages. Parents do not need to fuel this behavior.
Please read your child this book and start them on the path to celebrating diversity. If this includes going to your annual pride parade, that's wonderful! The pride parade is becoming a great family event for our glbt community. It's turning into less and less of an event with topless grrl bikers and men in leather sm gear and becoming an exibit of the groups in the community that support each other and their families. It's truly a celebration of community acceptance and pride.

Hate is not a family value, please love your neighbors and read your children this beautiful book.

One of the other reviewers wrote "I want to make it clear to anyone considering buying this book what you are buying. This child has two mothers as parents and the book ends with them all going to a "pride parade"." - I actually said aloud after reading this review "And?!". This book is a fantastic educational tool for children - the perfect way to teach kids that not all families are the same and that's ok! I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to bring up a well balanced child - who doesn't discriminate against other children - just because their family is different.

Straight or LGBT, this is a wonderful book for any parent that helps teach children that all families are wonderful, beautiful and valuable. Please write more, Mr Hoffman!

Bought this book for my good friend's daughter. She is bilingual and comes from a two-mommy household. It's her favorite book! My friend was really impressed that I was able to find a book like this for families like hers.

I almost bought this book thinking it was about something totally different! If you're like me and are looking for a diverse series (multi-cultural) I enjoyed the (Baby Faces) books by Roberta Grobel Intrater.

I want to make it clear to anyone considering buying this book
what you are buying. This child has two mothers as parents and
the book ends with them all going to a "pride parade".
