Praise for this book

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 Thompson's mixed media illustrations work in concert with Lesléa Newman's rhythmic text. Also, see this book's gay-fathers counterpart, Daddy, Papa, and Me, by the same creators.
