Two Moms, the Zark, and Me

A Seussian-style rhyming tale of a boy who meets a magical creature in the park. He then gets separated from his moms, and when he describes them to a strange but scary-looking couple offering to help, they tell him two moms are “wrong” and “a sin,” and say they’ll take him away to “a family that WE deem okay.” The boy sees the error in this and escapes with the help of the magical creature. Before finding his moms, though, he encounters another family, who assure him that families come in all shapes and sizes. Clunky, pedantic, and too scary for most kids, but may be of historical interest as one of the earliest books to depict an LGBTQ-headed family.
