Emma and Meesha My Boy: A Two Mom Story
Author: Kaitlyn Considine
Illustrator: Binny Hobbs
In this amusing story, Emma's moms help her learn to be nice to her cat. Some readers have described this as a "sort of primer on proper cat treatment." The author wrote it after becoming dismayed by the lack of two-mom stories available in bookstores. This is great for any family looking to teach their young child to be gentle with animals. Our toddler loves seeing the little girl with two moms, and our cats appreciate the message too. For ages 2-7. Regular price: $10.99. 50 PERCENT OFF SALE! Sale price: $5.49.

When we learn that Susan uses a wheelchair, it seems like just another part of her life. For ages 2–6. Regular price: $15.99. 50 PERCENT OFF SALE! Sale price: $7.99.
