The Rainbow Cubby House is the third book in the "Learn to Include" series, written by an Australian primary school student and her lesbian mum (who could not find any readers featuring same-sex families to donate to her daughter's school).
The series, and this book in particular, were at the centre of a controversy involving a day care centre using books that feature characters from same-sex parent families. NSW Premier Morris Iemma said of the issue: "I do not personally believe it appropriate for two-year-olds to be dragged into the gay rights debate." [1]
