lberkenwald14 years ago LeslÌÄå©a Newman is the author of the infamous, groundbreaking children's book Heather Has Two Mommies. My mother loved Heather Has Two Mommies and we found it especially relevant when our new neighbors moved in and my new playmate, Hannah, also had two mommies. LeslÌÄå©a Newman has since written several more children's books about gay and lesbian families, including Mommy, Mama, and Me, and Daddy, Papa, and Me. LeslÌÄå©a Newman's contributions extend far beyond her work in children's literature. She is also an award-winning author of literature and poetry for adults that deals with her identity as a Jew, a lesbian, and as a Jewish lesbian. Her award-winning short story A Letter to Harvey Milk has been made into a film and adapted for the stage. In 2009 I attended a writing workshop she led at my synagogue, and found her to be warm, engaging, and absolutely brilliant. Her work is absolutely essential reading for Jewish women at all stages in their lives. Visit her website at: http://lesleanewman.com. Reply You must have JavaScript enabled to use this form.
