In the book a different colored dad, a traditional family, and a family with two dads' children compare dads to find out in the end that they are not that different after all. It is designed for 4–8-year-olds, and discusses all kinds of different fathers, including having two dads. Also, so many people are unaccepting of this type of lifestyle that they wouldn't want their children to learn that it may be okay to be this way, which is unfortunate.One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads is a children's book by Johnny Valentine and Melody Sarecky.
I can see how it would be pulled from the shelves in a school or public library because it might be a book that would be better for a parent to read to a child, rather than a child reading it for themselves. I think it would be good to read to children who may be questioning why their friend does not have the same physical appearance as their parent, or why a child may have two of the same parent. This book is banned because it presents a lifestyle that many people do not agree with. At the end of the story they meet a little girl who has two green dads. He explains that his dads are no different from her dad by giving her specific examples of all the things they can do. It is written in rhyme, which is fun, and follows a young African American boy as he explains to his Caucasian girl friend that he has two dads that are blue. This is a book that is meant to help children understand why someone may have two dads, and not a mom. For the purpose of exploring various family units, this children’s book is great because it presents children with a same sex family without overcomplicating the story. He writes in a really authentic manner that makes it easy to understand what he is trying to convey, and the illustrator does an amazing job at portraying the author’s words. Although there isn’t any personal information about the author available, he has written many children book’s about same sex families. This book covers a topic that can be difficult for some teachers to teach because it is a complex subject, but this book makes it really easy to teach students about this subject and break down the stigmas surrounding it.
The author does an amazing job of taking the focus off of the fact that the main character has two dads by focusing on something funny, such as the dads being blue. As a literacy teacher, I would employ this book to break down stereotypes about same sex parenting. They discuss various aspects of everyday life that seek to show that although Lou has two blue dads, his family is completely normal. Lou and his friend discuss what it is like having two blue dads. One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads is a children’s book by Johnny Valentine that tells the story of two children comparing their lives.
