A new "Heather Has Two Mommies."

Mamasaurus

Before I was married to a dude, I mostly dated women, and I want to be able to talk to my child about this.  I mean, I certainly don't want to hide my prom pictures, graduation pictures, etc until LO is old enough for "the talk" like some people I know. I am big on reading to kids and figure a book is a good way to approach it with a young kid. 

 I know the classic Heather Has Two Mommies but remember it being around when was a kid. Are there some favorite titles I should consider? Is there a really good new one I maybe haven't heard about or might not see in stores yet? (There is a great book store in my area but as they are kind of small, once they sell out of a title it can be a while before it reappears on their shelf.)

 

Thanks for any ideas!

One of the newer ones is "Mommy, Mama and Me" by Leslea Newman (Tricycle Press, 2009}. This is one of my son's favorite books!

The Family Book is great - it would easily and naturally lead to the discussion about being able to date/marry anyone you love

Thanks, everyone! These all sound great, plus one about a person with pink hair is going to be useful for me as well. (In my younger days I changed my hair color so often that my then-five-year-old niece called me "Rainbow Head.")
