Most mommies are girls. Most daddies are boys. But lots of parents are like my Maddy. My Maddy has hazel eyes which are not brown or green. And my Maddy likes sporks because they are not quite a spoon or a fork. The best things in the world are not one thing or the other. They are something in between and entirely their own.
"The latest in Pitman' s LGBTQ books for children introduces young readers to a parent whose gender identity and expression are ' entirely fantastically their own' --not a mommy or a daddy, but ' my Maddy. . . . ' Such positive images of gender-nonconforming presentations are rare in children' s literature, making this a valuable addition to any school, public, or personal library for its engaging art and accessible representation for a wide age range. . . . Much needed in the landscape of family-oriented picture books. " --Kirkus Reviews-- "Kirkus Reviews"
