In their beautiful house, they cook dinner together, they laugh together, and they dance together. But some of the other families don&#8217;t accept them. They say they are different. How can a family have two moms and no dad? But Marmee and Meema&#8217;s house is full of love. And they teach their children that different doesn&#8217;t mean wrong. And no matter how many moms or dads they have, they are everything a family is meant to be. Here is a true Polacco story of a family, living by their own rules, and the strength they gain by the love they feel.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Patricia Polacco, In Our Mothers' House\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=In Our Mothers' House, Patricia Polacco&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Patricia Polacco, In Our Mothers' House\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9780399250767<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Family; Children<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>30-Apr-09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Philomel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Hardcover<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LoC Classification<\/td>\n<td>PZ7.P75186 .Mv 2009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>NotRated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subject<\/td>\n<td>Family Life\/ Fiction; Homosexuality; Lesbians; Lesbians\/ Fiction; Mothers\/ Fiction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>15419<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patricia Polacco | In Our Mothers&#8217; House | Marmee, Meema, and the kids are just like any other family on the block.
