Heather Has Two Mommies

meh

The only interesting thing about it is the title. And someday, even that won't be interesting.

It's one of those books whose mere existence is important. It's a revolutionary book concept, but the book itself is just okay.

Children with two mommies are just like any other child.

When I was little : a four-year-old's memoir of her youth

meh

Know-it-all four year old.

The ending is kind of sappy. "When I was little I didn't know what a family was. When I was little I didn't know what dreams were. When I was little I didn't know who I was. Now I do." I still don't know who I am, and I'm in my 30s. Still working on that one, Jamie Lee Curtis. Still working on that one.

You get to do a lot more fun things when you're older than you did when you were a baby.
