A playful celebration of Lesbian Mothers and their children! Oh The Things Mommies Do! is a bouncy, and playful look at the joys of a two Mom family. With its catchy rhymes and vibrant illustrations, it is a pleasure for children and parents alike!
Oh The Things Mommies Do!: What Could Be Better Than Having Two? captures two-mom families at work and play. The book is extremely colorful and engaging and its prose is straightforward and lyrical, showing a range of families that reflect the book’s opening dedication: “To mothers of all varieties, shapes, and sizes.”
The refrain of “Oh the things mommies could do! What could be better than having two?” follows images of mothers doing typical things like making breakfast, building blanket castles in the living room and “conquering” the flu. But the simplicity of the moments is part of what makes the story so enjoyable and refreshing: all of the pictures show the families doing activities that any family might do.
Oh The Things Mommies Do!: What Could Be Better Than Having Two? strikes a nice balance by celebrating the uniqueness of two-mom families without emphasizing the otherness. Highly recommended.

Excerpt
Mommies ride bikes and conquer the flu.
They keep on the fridge the things that you drew.
Mommies jump on trampolines and plant gardens too.
They sing your favorite songs with you!
Oh the things mommies do!
What could be better than having two?
