A little girl is playing on the playground when a boy visits her...with a few questions.
"My Friend Lincoln says you have two dads."
"That's right. Poppa and Daddy."
He wants to know if she has two dads (she does) and what they do.
The little girl continues to play, all the while explaining how having two dads works for her family.
"Poppa's the one when I need braids. Daddy is there when I'm afraid."
All in all, this was a short and fun book.
"Daddy is my soccer coach. Poppa cooks me eggs and toast."
I adored the illustrations - they were so simple and dynamic!
I also enjoyed the simplistic language regarding such a hot-button topic. I think it would have fit a little better to have a few short introduction entences at the beginning.
As of now, the book progresses from: "You have two dads?" immediately to: "Which dad does this? Which one does that?"
I feel like something is needed to bridge the abrupt subject change.
Other than that, this is a sweet book that walks children through what it's like with a double-dad family.
Definitely a keeper!

A Tale of Two Daddies is about a little girl who is being raised by two fathers. She calls one Poppa and the other Daddy. This book follows the discussion between the little boy and a little girl on the playground. The little boy is curious and asks if it's true that she has two daddies. The girl tells him she does . When he asks questions about who does certain things for her, She tells the boy what her Daddy does for her and the things that her Poppa does for her.
The book is easy to follow. The boy asks the questions on the one page and on the next she replies..
For example the first page:
"Who's your dad when your hair needs braids?" "Who's your dad when you're afraid?"
The little girl responds on the next page:
"Poppa’s the one when I need braids." " Daddy is there when I’m afraid."
I liked that the answers were varied.
For example:
"Who is the one who stays up late?"
"Neither one likes to stay up late."
"Which dad helps you match your socks?"
"And I’m big enough to match my own socks."
"Who’s the dad who helps with homework?"
"Both my dads help with my math."
Some of the answers show that sometimes neither or both help, or even that she's independent and can help herself.
I love the rhyming and the illustrations are fantastic! The colors and pictures are beautiful and bright without being too busy. The focus is on the little children having the conversation as they go about their play on the playground.
I found this book to be very heartwarming . I think it is a great and simple book to help when trying to teach about acceptance about the many different types of families there are. In this case a child that has two fathers. There is also a companion book "A Tale of Two Mommies."
I would recommend this book to all families. I loved it!!!

The same as 'a Tale of 2 Mommies' only with two daddies. I still think this is well done and it's also informative to children curious how that works.
The kids read this and they thought we had already read it. It is that similar. I still thinks it's good to have these books out there.
Love is LOVE!

This book is so important. It doesn’t matter if you have a mom and a dad or two dads and two moms.
They’re your family and that’s the only thing that matters.
Love for everyone ♥️

I couldn't tell you when I last willingly read a children's book. Usually my family has to employ some heavy emotional guilt to get me to read to my younger cousins. But not in this case!
A girl and a boy are playing at the park. The girl has two daddies, and the boy wants to know what that's like. Who's in charge of bedtime? Who makes breakfast? These are all very important questions, as I'm sure you're aware.
Overall, a cute story, with cute characters, and cute illustrations. And with a very important message.

Who is your dad when you're sad and need some love?
Both, of course.

A cute and wonderful story!😊 I think this book is perfect for any diverse family. My children loved it just like they loved A Tale of Two Mommies!💙💜

A Tale of Two Daddies is a wonderful, charming, little story that brings to light some very important issues (in a very friendly way!).
Our little friend has two Daddies - Poppa and Daddy. Poppa is good at braids, Daddy takes care of her when she's scared. They split all of the important Daddy related items, because she has two wonderful Daddies to help her out! She explains to her new friend all of the fun ways Poppa and Daddy help her.
The book is very simple and sweet. It's perfect for young readers and is a wonderful way to explain to kids why their friend might have two Moms or two Dads. The book is progressive and positive, and I love that. It works in all of the best ways.
I absolutely love the cartoon-y pictures. I think it fits the theme well and is very engaging. There's lots of colours and not too much to drain your attention away from the story. Near the end of the book, it gives a little example for how the art was made and that made this story even better. I thought it was very cool to see how they made the effects be softened!
Overall, this is another must read gem in the children's fiction department. Pick up this picture book, because it is so totally worth it.
Five out of five stars.

This was a very cute book. I think it's good to tell a child early on that some kids have two daddies and some kids have two mommies and that's perfectly normal. It's my opinion that most young children are very open-minded and I think that once they read this book they'll just accept it. It normalises the whole situation for kids. This book shows that you don't need a 'mommy' and a 'daddy', all you need are parents who love you, take care of you and support you. I would definitely read this to kids and it's a sweet, quick book for others to read too.

Story starts with two friends playing on playground. Boy named Lincoln is very curious that his girl-friend is having two daddies and he have a series of questions about chores that usually divided between mother and father. He wants to know which chore performed by who. The girl very sweetly and smartly answers them.
I liked how she called her two dads. Poppa and Daddy. In the begging only girl made me instantly like her. She was such a sweet and smart girl who patiently answered all questions by her curious friend. Discussion between them were written simple rhyme that children can easily understand. Both dads divided daily chore between them that they never let girl realize they were doing chore that were usually done by women. Illustrations were very bright and colorful with all required details.
Lesson from both story: It is very important to teach children that not to look differently at kids who have different family. This story told in very simple way that everyone should accept family of same sex parents or different family and also help in bringing awareness that different kinds of family also do normal chores and love their children equally.
I liked to learn about author and illustrator at the end of the both stories and how illustrator made art for book. Overall, it was very cute with simple yet important message. It should be in kids sections of all libraries.

This was another great book by Vanita Oelschlager. This story follows her other book’s (A Tale of Two Mommies) format except it is a girl with two fathers instead of a boy with two mommies. The girl in the story is talking to a boy at a playground. The boy asks questions regarding the girls fathers and which father gets to help her in different everyday situations. Things like who is the dad that helps with homework or the one that cooks for her. The girl answers Daddy, Poppa, both or neither for each question. Again, the kids are shown playing while having a casual conversation about the girl’s non traditional family. The illustrations are also very cute and were enough to grab the attention of my 12 year old (definitely the target audience is for half that age but I appreciate we got to talk about the book nonetheless).
Would recommend to everyone.

A Tale of Two Daddies is a playground conversation between two children. The boy says he heard that the girl has two dads. The girl says that is right. She has Daddy and Poppa.
I thought this was really cute.
So many books about blended families start with "Why do you have two dads?" which I have always found is a ridiculous question.
I enjoyed that this one did not. It was a story of how and what each of her parents do in her life with the natural inquisitiveness all children have. A rather sweet way to discuss blended families with the tiny humans in your life and lots of colour and fun pictures to keep them interested.
Thank you NetGalley and VanitaBooks for allowing me to check this out.

This is a great dialogue between two children, a boy, and a girl, regarding life with two daddies. In the innocence of children, the clarity of parental love is expressed without gender bias.
An easy way to introduce the idea of some kids having different kinds of parents.

June is LGBTQIA awareness month and a month full of pride it is!
Something that you may not know about me is that I have a special affinity for children. I am a bit of a "kid magnet." Teaching children to be kind, caring, and tolerant members of society is something we ALL should be invested in.
In the hopes of making families about FAMILY and not what kind they are, I reviewed an amazing children's book called A Tale Of Two Daddies by Vanita Oelschlager.
This well-written children's book shows how family, through a child's eyes, is completely unaffected and unburdened by societal or cultural discomforts. It features innocent questions and honest answers between two friends when talking about having two dads.
The artwork, by Kristin Blackwood and Mike Blanc, is both colorful and engaging. The artwork was produced in a four step process and is described in detail at the back of the book.
Along with the lesson that family IS just that... family, I found on the back of the book where all profits are to be donated to charitable donations, with preference given to organizations supporting the author's husband's disease, multiple sclerosis. Talk about giving back to the community in multiple ways!
How could you NOT love a children's book that speaks to kindness, giving, equality, and love?
I found this book to be a fantastic addition to LGBTQIA awareness, as well as to HUMAN awareness and the importance of family... no matter what the make-up is. This was a 4 out of 5 stars children's book for me, and I hope you too will take the time to read it as well as support one love.

To me, culture and education go hand in hand. Unfortunately, culture in general is straight (heterosexuality is the norm when you turn on your TV, your radio or when you go to the movies). And I say "unfortunately" not because I’m gay, but because I believe it’s important to show our children that there are other possibilities, that being different is perfectly normal. No, I don’t have kids, but the way our children are raised today will impact my future, your future, and we already have too much hate out there.
If you are a parent, A Tale of Two Daddies and A Tale of Two Mommies are great books to show your little ones basic aspects of alternative families. The art is beautiful and the question and answer format keeps the kids engaged. You don’t need to read the whole book at once, just take your time breaking paradigms, showing your love and creating good childhood memories. That's what I would do. :)

Okay, this is cute.
My daughter said, it's way much better having two daddies than have none. LOL

I absolutely adored this!
Children’s books are perfect to illustrate the most complicated things, or at least that’s what I think so since we adults are pretty much complicate everything.
A Tale of Two Daddies is a short book that show us the perks of having two dads. Poppa and Daddy are the way this little girl calls them and from the very beginning we see how both of these men take care of her, just like any parent would.
I love seeing different types of families, especially when you can feel the love pouring out of the pages. A family should provide love and respect, but also, it should teach you how to be a nice person to others too. Kindness is very much needed any time, any place. And kids nowadays have the opportunity to learn about diversity and make this world a better place.

My kids have two dads, and this book does such a nice job prepping them for the sorts of questions they will face. I imagine it also preps other kids for expecting families like ours. It's the sort of book I would love to see in every preschool and every house. Smart and full of gentleness and grace.

This is a cute book about a little girl with two daddies. In simple rhyming text, a boy asks her which of her dads helps her do certain things, from building a tree house to helping with homework. Some things her Poppa does. Some things her Daddy does. Some things both dads do, and sometimes neither one does it because she does it on her own. The bright, humorous, cartoon-like pictures show us the little boy and the little girl talking, shifting to pictures of her doing activities with her dads. Like some cartoons, we never see the dads' faces, only their hands or from the chest-down. This gives an emphasis on the girl and her loving experiences with her fathers, without putting too much focus on the adult world of the two daddies.
This book is a perfect way to deal with the idea of a kid who has to two parents of the same gender in an age appropriate manner. Kids can see through the eyes of the girl that her dads do many of the things other parents and guardians do. They help her, take care of her, and love her. This is the important thing for children to know. This could be used with K-2 (if the classroom atmosphere allows for such inclusion), along with other books that look at the experiences of kids who have various kinds of care-takers--especially in a positive light. This would also be a nice one to include in a family's home library. I highly recommend this book.

This is a beautifully drawn book that helps children to understand and for adults to normalises same sex parents. It is well done and doesn’t fall into any stereotypes, it doesn’t try and set out one dad as the “female” and one as the “male”.

This was too cute same as its counterpart A Tale of Two Mommies. It is the story of a boy and a girl. The boy ask her if she has two daddy's, and she in return answers all his questions.
This book is very good for children and to make them to understand in their little ages that there are some families who have two mommies and two daddies and it is perfectly normal. It is good to make children understand these things in little age.
The illustrations were beautiful. Children will love it and it will help them to engage in it. The rhyming of poetry was very good and after finishing it, there will be a cute smile on your face. :)

The illustrations were beautiful. Children will love it and it will help them to engage in it. The rhyming of poetry was very good and after finishing it, there will be a cute smile on your face. :)
Thanks to NetGalley and VanitaBooks for providing this arc

in A Tale of Two Daddies, two kids are in a playground and the boy is curious to know about his playmate's two dads. without batting an eyelash, the girl tells him exactly how her Daddy and Poppa take care of her respectively and together as a couple.
straight from the mouth of babes, this illustrated book tells the whole world that it makes no difference who raises a child - whether they be a single mom, a single dad or even two dads or two moms. the main responsibility of a parent or parents is to ensure that a child's basic needs are met and that he/she grows in a safe and loving environment. the book also implies that bigotry or prejudice has no room in a home where respect, acceptance, joy and love abound.
with colorful artwork by Kristin Blackwood and Mike Blanc, this story by Vanita Oelschlager speaks from the heart and reaches out to everyone regardless of sexual orientation, creed and race. it is visually appealing and emotionally uplifting. i think it deserves a place in every shelf in every home, school and library.

Book Info: Genre: Children’s Educational Reading Level: Young Children (4-8)
Disclosure: I received a free eGalley of this text in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis: A Tale of Two Daddies is told through a playground conversation between two children, one of whom is a girl who has two dads. This story can help parents and teachers handle questions about same-sex parents. Illustrations.
My Thoughts: While I do not have any children, I believe it is very important to raise children to love and understand differences rather than to hate them, and therefore I was intrigued by the concept of this book. This is a very simple book, which clear, large illustrations, and it’s so sweet that it made me all weepy. I believe this is a book that would be very beneficial to help explain same-gender families to curious, young children, and also will prove helpful in helping children learn to read, which is the perspective from which I can see it. Recommended.
