I really don't know what to say about this, but I figured it might spawn an interesting discussion.

Look at The DH trying to stir up controversy

WTF?? Is this for real?

Love how "mommy" is wearing a belly shirt pre-tummy tuck, stepping out of her BMW SUV in suburbia. Nice.

My sentiments exactly!

I saw that on the news. I guess some kids need the explanation. What's next a kids book about gender reassignment?

Someone at work told me about this morning. She saw an interview with the author.

Truly strange.

Wow. Thankfully, there are so many wonderful, creative and well-written children's books (that send positive messages) out there that we'll never have to encounter that one!

I can't believe some publishing company found that worthy to publish....sick!

I saw a clip about this on the Today show. I just think it's sad that people really think that this is helpful. Children need to be taught about self love and inner beauty. Not that mommy is pretty, but could be prettier.

And I'm not at all against having plastic surgery, just this approach to explaining it.
