Special Blog Post by Keren Moran Co-founder at <\/em>mememepress.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it was Dad\u2019s shoes in \u2018The Cat and the Hat Returns\u2019 that gave us away. They were definitely too\u2026 \u2018mannish\u2019<\/em> for our fashion-conscious, gender-vigilante (we\u2019re assured this will pass!) 4 year old daughter who called our \u2018bluff\u2019 and uncovered the truth we\u2019d been hiding \u2013 the kids in the book – Sally and Conrad – have a mom and a dad (!!!) not two moms like our<\/em> family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d been swapping genders and pronouns to make the book read more like our family but our<\/em> kid was NOT impressed by our \u2018trickery\u2019 (!!) and this is where the first little kernel of Mememe Press was born.

Why couldn\u2019t ANY family find themselves in the books they were reading to their kids? We looked around and could see we weren\u2019t the only families who couldn\u2019t find themselves in their books. In fact the majority of modern families don\u2019t actually fall in to the Mom + Dad + 1-2 kids formation any more. The definition of family has stretched and changed so much yet the publishing world, the traditional custodians of the keys to our kids\u2019 reading experiences are slow and dare I say, fearful of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to take matters in to our own hands. We were (we are) two moms propelled by a passion for young reading and its impact on the development of little humans (the kind with well-adjusted cores). Plus, having run a creative agency together for 14 years, servicing clients across major creative and tech endeavours \u2013 we knew we could make it happen.

Our objective \u2013 publishing quality kids literature personalized to reflect any family to the kids living in it \u2013 every kid deserves that magical feeling of validation.

Our first title: Ready or not here comes\u2026 your kid \u2013 is written by Kate and Jol Temple, award winning authors whose books have already been read by more than half a million kids and it is lavishly illustrated. The story line, based around a hide & seek romp in a monster home changes to include different family members and they are all depicted as cute furry monsters to take the focus away from reflecting any particular ethnicity \u2013 we are all cute monsters on the inside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re so excited the book is out in the wild for all to enjoy and make their own. It has already been earning rave reviews from families all over the world. @twopoofsandapudding (a two-dad family from the UK) had this to share:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We absolutely love this book! Reading it with our son who is 2 is such a joy. Every time we read it and say his name he gets so excited and shouts his name too. Also when he sees that his\u00a0two\u00a0daddies are in the book he looks at us both with the biggest smile on his face. Reading it with his cousins is funny as they are shocked pudding has his very own book. They know he is special the way he came into our life through adoption but this book makes them think he is super special.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026and just to show how endlessly diverse the families represented actually are \u2013 Kim Kardashian loved her<\/em> copy of the book so much (complete with her<\/em> 4 little ones as well as Kanye, Aunty Khloe and grandma Lovey she posted about it to her 140 million followers!
