ASHA's Mums: By Rosamund Elwin and Michele Paulse; Illustrated by Dawn Lee | 
pick4 ⭐ In this book Asha has two mums, and her teacher doesn‘t believe her. The teacher is not going to let Asha go on the school field trip unless she has her mom and her dad sign the permission slip. This book is from 1990, and it shouldn‘t be banned. Asha has to teach her teacher and her classmates that people do have two moms. What this teacher leaves out is single moms. That was also a thing in 1990. If you needed a dad and a ⬇
LibrarianRyan mom to sign a permission slip, there might be a lot of kids not going. The story is great for it‘s time, but there are so many better now. Partly this is for the illustrations that slip from color to black and white for no reason, multiple times throughout. For the time, this book would have been special and needed, for modern times, it would go in the weed pile. 2y
