“The most important thing about a family is that all the people in it love each other.”
Lesléa Newman, Heather Has Two Mommies
“...as a child, I was an avid reader. And despite reading hundreds of books about straight people, I did not grow up to embrace the heterosexual lifestyle. Similarly, someone who is heterosexual is not going to turn gay from reading a book that features a child being raised by two moms.”
Lesléa Newman
“A book cannot change the inner core of who you are. It can't alter what you came with down the birth canal and into this world. But a book can validate, comfort, educate, and enlighten. Books can help make this a more accepting, respectful, and more celebratory world.”
Lesléa Newman, You Can't Say That!: Writers for Young People Talk About Censorship, Free Expression, and the Stories They Have to Tell
