A toddler and two mommies fill one sunny day with a bike ride, the zoo, and a cozy bedtime.
A little one and two mommies set out on a bright day: a morning bike ride to the farm stand, an afternoon at the zoo, and then home for a bath, a story, and being tucked in. The whole thing rolls along in bouncy rhyme that sounds like the happy nonsense a parent babbles at a toddler all day long. It's small and warm and just the right size for the very young.
It's built for the littlest listeners: one happy day, plenty of hugs, a rhythm that carries a squirmy toddler from the zoo all the way to goodnight. The two moms and their interracial family are simply who's in the story, no framing and no explaining, so a child in a family like this gets to see it reflected back, and every other child just gets a cozy, sunny read.
