The impending war in Iraq gives this story a definite place in time, and its distinct characters make it satisfying and surprisingly realistic. In this sweet board book, the flowing lines and warm palette of Carol Thompsons mixed media illustrations work in concert with Lesléa Newmans rhythmic text. Practice and discipline accompany this gradual exploration of his talent. Mommy, Mama, and Me is a childrens picture book written by Lesléa Newman and illustrated by Carol Thompson which focus on a family with two lesbian parents. The “big nothing” place, where Justin retreats in time of trouble, is a rhythmic world and soon begins to include melody and provide Justin with a place to express himself. Surprisingly ultra-cool Jemmie, who is also missing her best friend, Cass, actually recognizes his existence and her grandmother invites Justin to use their piano in the afternoons when Jemmie’s at cross-country practice.

It gets worse when he realizes that all of his mother’s suspicions about his father are probably true, and that Dad may not return from his latest business trip. From hide-and-seek to dress-up, then bath time and a kiss goodnight, theres no limit to what a loving family can do together. Rhythmic text and illustrations with universal appeal show a toddler spending the day with its daddies.
