Oh the Things That Mommies Do is a bouncy and playful look at the joys of a two-mom
family. With its catchy rhymes and vibrant illustrations, it is a pleasure for children and
parents alike.
Gay parenting has long raised eyebrows and evoked tones of disapproval from the conservative community. Still, LGBT families continually strive to achieve the same goals as their "traditional-family" counterparts: to create a safe, healthy environment for their children to grow up into happy, well-adjusted and responsible adults. Families may come in a multitude of different shapes and sizes but they all share the universal joys of kinship.
When Crystal Tompkins and her wife Lindsey Evans discovered a lack of resources for LGBT families, they decided to join forces to help fill the void. Their first book Oh The Things Mommies Do! celebrates the love and laughter of two-mom families.
"With the number of same-sex parents increasing at a very rapid pace, I believe it is very important for the children of our families to see themselves represented in their literature," Tompkins shared.
Oh The Things Mommies Do! is a playful romp through the everyday adventures of life. Tompkins' poetry is in perfect symphony with Evans' energetic images.
