My First Children's Book: Now Available!


Written by me! Illustrated by Ji! And it has a rhinoceros! 

If you have a young child in your life, please consider investing in a copy of  City Life, a picture book about a two-mom family (one child, non-gender-specific). Wonderful pen-and-ink illustrations by J. Cecelia Haytko show a car-free family riding bikes, visiting the museum and the zoo, getting vegetables at the farmers' market, and just generally being an unremarkable family.

If you have a family like mine, you know how important -- and rare -- the unremarkable part is. We didn't work on this book to pitch a moral message, or club people over the head with the gay agenda (we're also selling the 2011 Gay Agenda! Leatherbound or Recycled Paperboard!) -- I just wanted something to read to my kid, and it became something bigger.

I can honestly say I think we did a really good job. If you order straight from the imprint, you save $2 off the Amazon price, shipping is free, and you get it signed (by me, she said modestly).

Makes a great gift and keeps my baby girl in Mum-Mums.
