Momma days, Mommy days : a story of love, change and hope

illus. by Sonny Heston
Language: English
Bloomington, IN : AuthorHouse, [2015] ©2015.
1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 22 cm.
ISBN: 1496974778 ; 9781496974778
My annotation: A very much loved little girl narrates the story of how her moms no longer want to be married to each other. She tells us that although they chose her “to be their baby long before I was in my mommy’s belly,” that “the truth is, I looked down from the clouds, and I picked them to be my parents.” This beautiful writing sets the tone for the rest of the book, which tells how this little girl feels about sharing two homes, how her moms fought often, how activities are now planned separately, and how she feels sad sometimes because in addition to her parents’ divorce, she does not know any other families like hers. This book, also depicting a multi-racial family, will help other children of same-sex families experiencing a divorce, feel not so alone. In the end, and over time, the little girl’s parents are able to come together to have dinner with her.

Mom, Mama, and Me... and How I Came to Be!
by Tina Rella
illus. by Monica Meza
Language: English
CreateSpace, 2010.
26 p. : col. ill. ; 20 x 25 cm.
ISBN: 9781452875668; 1452875669
My annotation: Told in both the first and third person, this is the story of Jonathan and his two moms. When one day at school, someone asks him what his parents do for a living, he tells them what his moms do. “But where’s your dad?” the other child asks, and Jonathan does not know what to say. At home he asks, “Do I have a Daddy?” to which his moms reply: “...love makes a family, yes it’s true/Love makes a family - me and you/There’s nothing better we could have done/We always knew that you were the one!” The next page features the “Family Fertility Center” about which his parents begin to explain how a “nice young man … donated his sperm,” which a doctor mixed with “our eggs.” Although the book introduces the terms, “sperm,” “egg,” “embryo,” and “donate,” the part about mixing the sperm with “our eggs” might have to be explained as the book’s attempt at rhyme is confusing in parts: “The doctor mixed our eggs with the sperm/Which stayed in a dish for a very short term.” Still, this is an introduction to sperm donation and in vitro fertilization for young children with two mothers. This book takes a family-building approach and employs the “families are made differently” and a little bit of “the helper” script. Full -color illustrations depict a multi-racial lesbian couple. Recommended for ages 3-5.

Daddy Dog and Papi Panda's rainbow family

Language: English
CreateSpace, 2012.
33 pp. : col. ill. ; 22 x 22 cm.
ISBN: 9781475090888; 1475090889
My annotation: Daddy Dog and Papi Panda were just Mr. Dog and Mr. Panda until the day they received a call about a child monkey who was awaiting a family. Daddy Dog climbed aboard a plane and traveled very far in order to retrieve Mikey the Monkey and so the loving family - formally two - became a family of three. Then one day, Miss Cat announces that she’d like to carry a kitten for Daddy Dog and Papi Panda, but she did not have one kitten, or even two. She had three kittens and so their family of three expanded to a family of six. This is the story of how a two-dad family was built via adoption and surrogacy. It takes a family-building approach and employs the “helper” script. Recommended for children ages 3-5.

Boys, Girls, and Everyone In-between

19 p. : col. ill. ; cm.
ISBN:
Summary: This children's book is a simple, easy to understand guide to gender variance. The drawings are simplistic, and easy to recognize so that children of any age can learn the importance of living life with gender variance in mind. Perfect for any age group (even adults!), this book gives a very basic glimpse into understanding key concepts regarding gender. I was very careful not to use any actual identifiers (ie transgender or transsexual) because people are SO much more than the words we put on them. Thank you for taking the time to include books like this in your child's upbringing.

Language: Spanish
Antequera : La Calle, 2015.
p. : col. ill. ; 20 x 26 cm.
ISBN: 97884161640
Summary: Carabarco es un pirata, pero un pirata de los de verdad, con dos ovarios, un gallo y una estrella como parche. Distinto, vale, pero igual de bucanero que cualquier otro corsario de los siete mares. Y aunque esas diferencias lo hacen ser piraTrans, es como cualquier filibustero. Unos tienen barba y otros una gran espada, Carabarco tiene una chistera y muchas historias que contar.
Se trata de una obra novedosa que busca promover la diversidad sexogenérica y la igualdad entre la población más joven. A través de las ilustraciones de simpáticos piratas y con diferentes historias, se fomenta el concepto “todos somos iguales” aunque unos sean calvos, tengan pelo o usen o no pendientes, pulseras o parche en el ojo. El cuento va acompañado de una guía didáctica que pretende normalizar la transexualidad desde edades tempranas, haciendo ver que sea como sea el cuerpo de cualquier personaje, son auténticos piratas.

Summary: När jag hörde talas om att det skulle komma ut en bok som använde det könsneutrala pronominet "hen" blev jag jätteglad. Äntligen kunde transbarn, och alla andra barn - och säkerligen en och annan vuxen också (både trans- och ciskönade sådana), få en karaktär att känna igen sig i. Boken är skriven på rim, historien är spännande för målgruppen och har skojiga bilder av Bettina Johansson. Nu vill jag läsa nästa bok om Kivi - Kivi och den gråtande goraffen!

Gabrielle's Gift

Language: English
Lerone Landis, 2014.
34 p. : col. ill. ; cm.
ISBN: 0692333967 ; 9780692333969
Summary: The premise of Gabrielle's Gift is a simple one - a child's wish for a very special birthday gift. It is a gift that that nearly every kid will ask for at some point in their childhood, the gift of a pet! This everyday typical scenario is coupled with an atypical family dynamic in which Gabrielle's parents are two dads. The unique family is never explicitly mentioned. The visuals speak for themselves and the common story make it relatable to absolutely any and all kids, regardless of their family make up. Gabrielle's Gift is a fun, short, and to the point story. The message that beauty comes in all different colors and forms is not an overbearing one, just an additional one. Yet it is represented as a metaphor through the eyes of a pet and Gabrielle's family.
