Heather Has Two Mommies order quantity

NZ$ 27.00 each
Paperback
Author: Leslea Newman (Illustrated by Diana Souza)
In Stock: 1
Originally self-published in 1989, Heather Has Two Mommies was the simple and straightforward story of a little girl named Heather and her two lesbian mothers.

Created by Newman and illustrator Diana Souza because children's books that reflected a nontraditional family did not exist, but a firestorm of controversy soon ensued.

The central message of love and acceptance has endeared the book to countless readers. After all, as Molly, Heather's beloved teacher points out, "The most important thing about a family is that all the people in it love each other".

What makes a family? The members of Ms. Marston's kindergarten class are cleaning and decorating their room for the upcoming Open School Night. Molly and Tommy work on drawing pictures to put on the walls. Molly draws her family: Mommy, Mama Lu, and her puppy, Sam. But when Tommy looks at her picture, he tells her it's not of a family.

"You can't have a mommy and a mama," he says. Molly doesn't know what to think; no one else in her class has two mothers. She isn't sure she wants her picture to be on the wall for Open School Night.

Molly's dilemma, sensitively explored in words and art, shows readers that even if a family is different from others, it can still be happy, loving, and "real,"
