Heather Has Two Mommies
, the first of its kind children’s book about a child of two moms, is celebrating its 25th birthday!
The book, which caused quite the uproar when it was first published, is being reissued with updated text and new illustrations, including wedding rings on Heather’s mommies’ hands. The loving message of the book remains: “the most important thing about a family is that all the people in it love one another.”
