Noa and Gal have two fathers, Itai and Yoav. They call them by
their nicknames, Daddy-Yo and Daddy-I. Noa and Gal were born to gay
parents in a process called surrogacy, with the help of two special
women that enabled the arrival of the twins into the world.
In this unique book, the writer, Shosh Pinkas, shares the story of
many same-sex families around the world. Gal and Noa's Daddies
describes in a simple, clear, and humorous way, without any
apologies, a loving and caring same-sex family. This is a brave and
important book for children, and it also provides an appropriate
answer for the needs of adults, as well. Family members, teachers,
and friends will learn how to cope with the questions of curious
children who seek to know more about the different types of
families they see around them.
For age 3 and up. The story was evaluated by a child psychologist
to insure that the messages are appropriate for children of this
age.

"Shosh Pinkas's book is a charming book that tells the story of a
happy, loving family. Some say that all happy families are alike,
but this family is a little different - it has two fathers and two
daughters. The book explains how the girls came to this world in a
family that has two dads but without the need to justify it. Human
warmth is the most important thing. Every child that reads this
book will wish to sit on the lap of Daddy-I and Daddy-Yo, to play
with the cats, and to be a part of Noa and Gal's home - a hugging
and sharing home, where everyone makes salad and does the laundry.
Society needs books like this one: free in mind, not stuttering,
that relays the joy that each parent feels when choosing to raise
children and accepting the privilege of answering their children's
questions, while teaching them to think and respect every person,
young or old." (Prof. Y. Tamir, President of Shenkar College of
Engineering and Design, Former Minister of Education)
"The book Gal and Noa's Daddies fills the void that exists on this
subject on children's bookshelves. The book gives children a clear
and simple explanation without unnecessary details, but in an
easy-to-understand language. The story challenges the conventional
disciplines of gender and presents alternative options as natural
and positive. I'm sure the book would be an appropriate response to
the need of adults - relatives, teachers, and friends - to answer
questions that children will ask. The illustrations are aesthetic
and pleasant. They contribute to the presentation of the family as
natural, warm, and loving, and help to shatter the existing
stereotypes. I enjoyed reading it " (Rennana, Library Director, The
David Yellin Academic College of Education)
"A few decades ago, you could hardly find books on "special"
children. Today, there are no special children-all children are
special, with their own unique personality. The awareness of
diversity and variety are evolving, although not enough, and
children are the first to accept it. I believe that they deliver
the change and so does your book. The life of your children and
their daughters will enrich us all. Slowly, tolerance will arrive.
Bless you " (Dr. Hana Gilaie Guinor, Clinical Psychologist)
