Reviews
Review, Mothering Magazine:
Mommy, Mama, and Me depicts the gentle, nurturing relationship of a lesbian couple and their little one. In this sweet board book, the flowing lines and warm palette of Carol Thompsons mixed media illustrations work in concert with Lesla Newmans rhythmic text. Also, see this books gay-fathers counterpart, Daddy, Papa, and Me, by the same creators.
