Intro - About

Welcome to this blog, and thank you for visiting. The purpose of this blog is to help other parents -- particularly same-sex parents and single parents -- discover new books for their children. I have always loved to read, and as a new parent, I sought out resources on the internet to find children's books to introduce to my daughter, who is 17 months old and also loves to read (yay!!). While there are several high quality children's book blogs that I enjoy reading, I saw a void in terms of a resource for parents that want to know about the family structure depicted in a book before they buy it.

In addition, I have found that my enjoyment of our nightly reading time with my daughter is pretty dependent on how much I like the books we are reading -- it is a terrible feeling to love reading, but dread a reading session when you've literally read every book thirty times. Thus, I hope this blog can be a resource to all families interested in learning about potential new books to add to the stack, not just same-sex parents.

The goals of this blog:

1) provide a background on the family structure depicted in popular (and sometimes obscure) children's books

2) generally recommend books we love

3) provide reviews of books targeted to families with same-sex parents or children conceived through artificial reproduction.
