Review:
Read this for Netgally after the title and the beautiful cover caught my attention and so I decided to go ahead and read it.
Its a kids book so it is obviously extremely short xD
Probably took me longer to download it than it did to actually read it.
Anyways
Its adorable and I really really love the drawings. They are super colorful and cute and I imagine them to be very appealing to children. I love the book itself as well. It gets to questions young kids with 2 gender parents would probably have when their friends have same sex parents and the childs response to how they are BOTH different and yet same when it comes to caring for him is just beautiful and true.
Recommend it?
For kids, of course! Even adults actually.
