This spring saw the debut of Kelly Bennett's Your Daddy Was Just Like You, just in time for Father's Day—and next spring, Your Mommy Was Just Like You will hit shelves just in time for Mother's Day, of course! Both books focus on connections sweet and not-as-sweet, have lovely artwork by the incomparable David Walker, and are published by Putnam—and the cover of the mommy book shows two adorable girls who are alike but different. Such fun!
