Monthly Featured Book - Mama and Mommy and Me in the Middle

As the days go by, Mama brings her to the library, they watch movies, and all of them talk on the phone, but she still misses Mommy as deep as the ocean and as high as an astronaut up in the stars. [...] Kinds of Families Talk with your child about the family in the book as a way to engage in a conversation about different kinds of families. [...] Explain and elicit that the family in the story has a daughter and two Moms, Mommy and Mama. [...] Then talk with them about what the daughter and Mama in the story do when they miss Mommy (e.g., they watch movies, they call her on the phone, they look at a picture and snuggle, they share with each other how they feel, they plan something special for when Mommy returns). [...] You can also discuss stereotypes (the false idea that all members of a group are the same and think and behave in the same way), which comes from having prejudices about a group of people.
