A Tale of Two Mommies by Vanita Oelschlager

A Tale of Two Mommies is a beach conversation among three children. One boy asks another boy about having two mommies. A young girl listening in asks some questions too.
True to a child's curiosity, practical questions follow. Which mom is there when you want to go fishing? / Which mom helps out when Kitty goes missing? To which he answers: Mommy helps when I want to go fishing. / Both Mommies help when Kitty goes missing.
A Tale of Two Mommies is intended for 4-8 year olds.
This book lets us look inside one non-traditional family, a same sex couple and their son. As the children talk, it's clear this boy lives in a nurturing environment where the biggest issues are the everyday challenges of growing up.
