In Our Mothers' House by Patricia PolaccoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
In Our Mothers' House is the story of a family. While the author wrote the story about two mothers instead of a traditional family with a mother and father, this book could appeal to children with any non-traditional family. Rather than focus on the same-sex relationship, this book focuses on the family relationship. In a way, I feel the book is directed more toward children from traditional families to help them understand why a classmate may have two mommies. Overall, I think it is a good addition to our library collection. However, if you're looking for a book to help a child with same-sex parents understand negative reactions from neighbors or other children, this is not really the book for you. Polacco really doesn't go into that issue very much.
