Two very different editions of this book. This one features actual humans!
Lovely and colorful.

Here's another sweet tale of an alternative guinea pig family that has been banned/challenged from some libraries. The book is beautifully illustrated but needs a little bit more in the plot with regards to the guinea pig marriage if this book is to be about teaching young children it's ok to be in a family with same sex couples since it seems to be lacking some emphasis. Otherwise this is a cute, simple story.

Mixed feelings here. I found the storyline to be a little bit of a rip off of another book published earlier Uncle Peter's Amazing Chinese Wedding. It is also a bit strange to see the whole story be about guinea pigs. Why not real people? I am happy to see diversity, but it is not my favorite. Much preferred In Our Mothers'House.

I loved that the focus of this book wasn’t on Uncle Bobby marrying a man, but on Chloe’s anxiety about losing her uncle once he gets married. It was really sweet and I love how it naturally spoke about queerness.

I hadn't heard of this one. It doesn't seem to be all that well known. Really if it hadn't been banned, I probably would never have heard of it. Which is too bad. Because it's got nice art and distinctive characters with personalities and they look distinctive. And it would be a good picture book for your kid when a favorite relative is getting married.

Oom Tijs gaat trouwen. Geschreven door: Sarah S. Brannen. Geïllustreerd door: Lucia Soto.
Cato is dol op haar oom Tijs, met hem doet ze super veel fijne dingen. Als ze hoort dat hij gaat trouwen met zijn vriend David is ze een beetje triest. Wat als hij geen tijd meer heeft om leuke dingen met haar te doen? Een heel herkenbaar gevoel voor jong en oud hé!?
Brannen slaagt er in om van dit verhaal niet enkel een leuke vertelling te maken maar ook om een wijze les met de lezertjes te delen. En dat op een leuke, gezellige, lieve manier. De schattige, vrolijke tekeningen maken dit boek helemaal tot een (inclusief) pareltje.
Een boek om verliefd op te worden en te blijven koesteren. Hartverwarmend en hoofdopenend. Verruim je blik, open je hart, heb lief. En lees dit pareltje!
