A girl explores the seashore with her two moms, leery of what is touching her under the water (kelp, a small crab, etc.) After her Ma assures her that all is well, she calms down—but then Ma herself runs out of the water, yelling that something touching is her (Ma). The girl reassures her with a laugh that it’s only Mum. A lovely story with jaunty rhymes that could be about any parents and child, but that happens to be of a two-mom family. Published in New Zealand, but the few colloquial words can be understood through context. One mom is blonde; the girl and the other mom have dark hair and a medium skin tone that could indicate indigenous heritage—an interpretation I’m assuming because the book is available in Maori as well as English.
