An inclusive picture book celebrating kindness, friendship and being true to yourself.Brief description: Jodie Lancet-Grant is an award-winning publishing professional and children's author. She was moved to write for children after she searched for picture books featuring LGBT+ families, to read to her twin daughters, wanting to see their family reflected back at them. Lydia Corry studied painting at the Royal College of Art. Since graduating she has followed in the footsteps of her mother Sally Gardner and devoted herself to children's books. The Pirate Mums is her debut picture book.
Review Quotes: "The lesson here is clear, but engagingly told. The fact that Ava has two dads is incidental to the story; Glitterbug's search for self isn't about an LGBTQ identity per se, but about being different in terms of interests and personality type. Nevertheless, LGBTQ young people are among the many who may find resonance with this tale, although its appeal is far broader."----Mombian
