Aww.. Look at this.. Now this what it's all about.. Why not make a children's book that deals with gay issues.. Its here and it won't go away so how about introducing it in a sweet charming way.Although, there is no doubt that this book will stir up controversy but still i am proud to say it's out there for those who want their children to be inclusive to their surroundings.
Here's a timely picture book that adds to ever-growing diversity in today's children literature.
"Uncle Bobby's Wedding," by Sarah S. Brannen, is the tale of a girl and her favorite uncle.
Uncle Bobby takes Chloe for walks, for rowboat rides on the river and teaches her about the stars.
Life is good until the day Mama throws a family picnic and Uncle Bobby announces that he and his friend Jamie are getting married. Everyone is excited except Chloe.
She tells her mother, "Bobby is my special uncle. I don't want him to get married."
...Well-told and charmingly illustrated with guinea pig characters, Brannen's story will resonate with children. Dealing with change, whether it is a new baby in the family, or a new in-law, is a sometimes-tough, sometimes-great part of growing up.
It's a true gem for youngsters who have a gay member of the family. Books for children younger than 8 rarely include same-sex couples in a natural easy way. [SOURCE]
I think its adorable...
