pickI read the new edition of this one, originally published in 1989…this has been banned and challenged so many times since original publication. Heather feels incredibly loved by her two mommies. When she starts school, she becomes concerned that she may be the only one in class without a daddy. The message: families are made up of those who love each other. #BBRC #PictureBook Letter H
pickAnother of the most notoriously banned children‘s books that I‘d never read before. For something that stirred up so much controversy this book struck me as just lovely and sweet. I‘m waiting for the word where people read this to their kids to teach them about starting kindergarten, not about “alternative†families. #BBRCPictureBookLetterH @LibrarianRyan

I can't let this challenge go by without reading at least 1 banned book. Heather Has Two Mommies received a lot of attacks and controversy in the 90's, you bet my parents never let me read it. 😡 This is the 25th anniv. edition w/ updated illustrations & shortened text. I'd like to track down a copy of the original edition. On a side note, the dog in this pic cracked me up! It continues to be an important book.
Read with PRIDE. In honor of Pride San Diego, here is some reads.
