A Tale of Two Daddies is a wonderful, charming, little story that brings to light some very important issues (in a very friendly way!).

Our little friend has two Daddies - Poppa and Daddy. Poppa is good at braids, Daddy takes care of her when she's scared. They split all of the important Daddy related items, because she has two wonderful Daddies to help her out! She explains to her new friend all of the fun ways Poppa and Daddy help her.

The book is very simple and sweet. It's perfect for young readers and is a wonderful way to explain to kids why their friend might have two Moms or two Dads. The book is progressive and positive, and I love that. It works in all of the best ways.

I absolutely love the cartoon-y pictures. I think it fits the theme well and is very engaging. There's lots of colours and not too much to drain your attention away from the story. Near the end of the book, it gives a little example for how the art was made and that made this story even better. I thought it was very cool to see how they made the effects be softened!

Overall, this is another must read gem in the children's fiction department. Pick up this picture book, because it is so totally worth it.

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to Vanita Oelschlager, VanitaBooks, LLC, and NetGalley for the advanced reviewer copy of “A Tale of Two Daddies” in return for an honest review.

On the heels of recently reviewing “Phoenix Goes To School,” the children book about a transgender child going to elementary and being in school for the first time, I absolutely wanted to do “A Tale of Two Daddies” and “A Tale of Two Mommies.”

I am very pleased at the turnout of all three of these books and about the idea of addressing all these questions children have about these subjects, about their friends, and their friends parents. I will be giving out copies of all three of these to my nieces and nephews in the future. ( )

I received an early copy from NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.

I wish there were more books like this when I was a kid. This was sweet, pure and shows what a kid would say, even if the questions are mostly induced by adults. ( )

I like the simple, colorful pictures that Kristin Blackwood and Mike Blanc achieved for this book. The story does a good job at illustrating that even families with different structures than our own still have someone to clean the kitty litter box, someone to build the treehouse, and someone to make the toast and eggs. It's a lot easier for kids to realize that a family is a family, no matter what, when it's boiled down to the basics like this. As long as someone's there when you wake up, and someone's there when you go to bed, it doesn't matter if the people at home with you are two dads, or two moms, or your grandparents, or a single parent, or an older sibling, or anyone else.
