Why read it?

1 author picked My Mums Love Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My daughter has two mums, and most mainstream children’s books don’t feature same-sex couples. This one is different. It’s a short story, in a poem format, that tells you about a day in the life of a baby with two mums – Mummy and Mama. She loves seeing her family reflected in the book and points out the three characters and tells us what they’re doing. It’s a joy to read to her, and she loves it so much she’s on her second copy.
