This delightful children’s book, “Milly, Molly and Different Dads” by Gill Pittar, is a heartwarming exploration of family dynamics and the diverse forms that modern families can take. Published in 1991, it was ahead of its time in addressing the experiences of children with separated or divorced parents, a topic that was still relatively taboo in mainstream literature at the time.
Pittar’s warm and inclusive storytelling follows the adventures of best friends Milly and Molly, whose fathers have taken on different roles after their parents’ divorces. Through their eyes, readers gain an understanding of the challenges and joys of navigating life with “different dads,” whether it’s a stay-at-home dad, a weekend dad, or a stepdad.
This copy, while showing some gentle wear from being well-loved, remains in good condition, with clean pages ready for the next reader to dive into Pittar’s heartfelt narrative. For collectors, it represents an important milestone in children’s literature’s increasing representation of diverse family structures, paving the way for more open and honest conversations about the realities of modern childhood.
