Stephanie is responding to a post that I placed on the listserv about 2 years ago! As we know, it is essential for our learners to practice reading with books that relate to their lives. For our learners who are lesbian mothers, or have lesbian mothers-finally another book with two mommies!!!! (scroll down for url) Here is her email to me Hello, I was motivated to send this email after I saw an old email dated 27Feb2002 from Daphne Greengerg, regarding a lack of children's book which depict two mommies or two daddies. This is still the case, so I decided to write and publish such a book. The book is titled "While You Were Sleeping" While You Were Sleeping, written by Stephanie Burks, is a story that lovingly describes the day that two women learn that a birthmother has chosen them to adopt a newborn baby boy. While their future son sleeps through his first hours of life, his new mothers experience all of the joy and anticipation of their new life together. It shows the excitement of the new parents as they hear of their son's birth and drive to the hospital to meet him for the first time. Charming and colorful illustrations by Kelli Bienvenu convey the warmth of this story from beginning to end, showing the moments that the adoptive parents meet their newborn son, sing him lullabies and arrive home, where the family pets are introduced to the newest member of their family. This book will speak to the hearts of all who cherish the true love of parents for their child and in the process, validate non-traditional families of all sorts.
