It's a Danish children's book released in 1981 (English translation in 1983) about a five year old girl and her two fathers. It's been out of print for over twenty years, so it was a little hard to find for a reasonable price, but I finally did and it came in the post today. It's such a delightful little book. It follows their adventures over a weekend, like organising a surprise birthday party, doing the cleaning, going to the laundrette... it's really simple but so much fun.
I know of a gay dad whose son starts school this year and he plans to read some gay friendly children's stories to the kids. Intrigued I did a bit of googling and discovered Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin. It seemed to be considered a classic and the Amazon reviews gushed praise, I saw a couple of pages of it and it looked really sweet, so I decided to get it. And I couldn't be happier, it's an awesome book. It makes me want to live in their world!
