I enjoyed that this book highlights similarities and differences within this diverse family in a way that is very normal and genuine. The pictures really captured my kids' attention and they were all reading the Spanish words right along with the English.

Este libro está destinado a todos los padres que se encuentran en el proceso de crianza de sus hijos, para que puedan afrontar las dificultades de cada vínculo familiar, pero también, está orientado a las personas adultas, para que puedan entender cómo las relaciones con sus hermanos influyeron en sus vidas."--Casadellibro.

40 p. : col. ill. ; cm. 
ISBN: 1909320692 ; 9781909320697
Summary: This illustrated children's story is about a gay couple (two male dogs), told in terms of friendship. No big deal is made of the fact they are both male and clearly partners, instead the story focuses on the quest of one of the dogs (Custard) to find a birthday present for the other (Mustard). Along the way we meet some of the other characters on Rainbow Street, who have their own stories in the Rainbow Street Series. The heart-warming conclusion of the story comes when Custard is unable to find a present special enough, and Mustard tells Custard not to worry because their friendship is the best present he could hope for. The story is aimed at young children, using animals rather than humans, to explore the idea that same-sex relationships are just as natural as same-sex friendships.

Summary: Hello, my name is Jeremy. This is my Mum, and my Mummy. And this is Peg, she is our cat. She’s rather old, and rather fat. This is my story come with me, And find out about my family. And all the things we like to do, I’m sure you like to do them too! ‘Me, Mummy & Mum’ is a story about Jeremy and his two mums. The book doesn’t ‘teach’ the reader about alternative families. It simply includes them like any other story book about a mummy and daddy would. One of the nice things about children’s books is that they build self-confidence by normalising children's experiences. Everyone should have a chance to see their family represented in the books they read, however many mums or dads they have. All families should be celebrated, and all children should be taught that families come in so many different combinations.
