Book Reviews of Asha's Mums

Book Review: This book is awful.
Summary: 1 Stars

My partner and I bought this book for our two small children. To the seller's credit, it arrived early. However after reading it ourselves, we decided not to share it with our children. It conveys an incredibly negative point of view. The teacher in the book tells the little girl that she couldn't have two mum's and must go home and have her permission slip signed correctly.
Apparently the mum's take care of it, but we don't know what they say. Nothing is explained except to say that it might be hard in our society to have two mom's and that is NOT the message we are looking to send our children. If the author was going to create such a negative situation, they could also create a positive resolution.
I highly recommend you not buy this book.
