My Maddy

"My Maddy" from APA’s Magination Press is a picture book about a child and their parent, Maddy, whose gender doesn’t fit the usual "mom" or "dad" boxes. Told in gentle, poetic language with soft illustrations, it focuses on daily moments of care and play, showing that what matters most is the love in a family. Parents appreciate that the book offers language for talking about nonbinary parents without turning the story into a heavy lesson. It’s a quiet, relatively short read, but for families with nonbinary caregivers or those wanting inclusive representation, it provides meaningful validation at a modest cost.
