Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Two Lives specializes in publishing quality books for children in families headed by gays and lesbians. The number of children being raised in alternative families is increasing daily, and we believe that these kids deserve to see their lives reflected in the books they are reading.

From the Author

So far, most of the books published for kids in gay and lesbian families have been very issue-oriented. I wanted to see some books where the fact of the family being different wasn't the focal point of the book. So I thought of making an alphabet book, where kids could say the letters and just see families like theirs having fun in the pictures. I'm glad that the book is being used in daycares and being read to all children. That way kids can see families that might be different from their own.

This book brought out the illustrations and views on life and how the world has determined what constitutes a family.

Nicely and innocuously integrates the concept of same sex parents

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I really like that this book is not ABOUT having two moms or two dads. It just let's that concept be known throughout the book as you read a word associated with a particular letter of the alphabet. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 is because I'd somewhat prefer is the authors instead used several different kinds of families/family members ("grandma", "mom", "dad", mom and dad", etc.). That would make it more friendly to have in my sons' classrooms or elsewhere without it feeling like it's one of those "off beat books" we only have at home. With 26 letters, even having a few combinations would allow for each to be mentioned 3-6 times.

Great inclusive book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

My kids LOVE this. I have a few other books with 2 dads but this is the first to also be inclusive of 2 mom households. I think it's a great way of integrating other family structures into my children's perceptions. They get to see that there are even more types of families out there, making us less interesting.

There are a lot of "A is for..." type books on the market. This one stands out because it allows children to see different families including families with parents who have disabilities, differing genders, and differing races. It makes a nice addition to our family's bookshelf.

Great start but could be better

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

Wonderful book that has lesbian moms and gay dads. Though I wish there were different names used for moms and dads coz not all lesbian moms are moms, some are moms, some are Mas, some mamas. Same goes for dads. Also no representation of transgender, gender queer, bisexual folks.

A book that teaches the ideal family is a myth. Family is a state of mind and heart and should be proudly observed in all compositions.

Although the paper is a bit poor it's pleasing to read. It wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but that's not the books fault. I was hoping that all family types might be represented within.
