Felicia’s Favorite Story, by Leslea Newman. My girl likes it b/c of the combo of the adoption story and the two moms. WHen she was younger, she loved Bobbie Combs’ (I think that’s the author) rainbow counting book, which has some cool illustrations.

We have that alphabet book, too, and a numbers book by the same author. My toddler loves them, too.

ABC: A Family Alphabet Book. My daughter is 19 months old and she loves the illustrations.

We have King and King, too, but my kids (ages 2 & 7) like And Tango Makes Three best. The little one likes Bedtime for Baby Teddy, too, but that one’s out of print, I think.

I think the 7 y/o might like Tango because it’s a true story. When I asked, he said he didn’t know why. The 2 y/o probably just likes the pictures of the penguins.

Our daughter’s faves are King and King, and The Sissy Duckling. She’s short on vocalized reasons why – she just likes them, is what she says. As a recently adopted 6 year-old to lesbo mums, my guess would be that she’s drawn to stories of ‘alternative’ families. She’s commented a couple of times recently that when she thought about being adopted, she had thought she would have a mother and father. She doesn’t say it with judgement, or sadness; more with observation. But she’s definitely trying to figure it all out.
