(M)other

Bouton d'or Acadie | Moncton, NB

No, my son doesn't have a father! From the delivery room where her son was born to the classrooms where he learns, a woman to whom the motherhood status is refused explains: her son doesn't have a father, but he's got two mothers. She is the other mother. An (m)other, there is no space for that on the forms, no space for that in the minds of her peers, or the minds of the kids who play with her son at school. Adapted from a 2018 CBC Poetry Prize shortlisted poem, this book tells, with tenderness and accuracy, the difficulties that home parental families face in order to be accepted for what they are: loving families.
