Children's Literature Review:
Bobby is Chloe's favorite uncle, and they love spending time together. But one day Chloe learns that Uncle Bobby will marry Jamie. Everyone in the family is excited and happy except for Chloe. Will Uncle Bobby still spend time with her? Or will he be too busy with his own life? What will it be like to have a new member of the family? Soon, Chloe discovers that instead of having one amazing uncle, she now has two; the three love spending time together. On the wedding day, Chloe helps put the finishing touches on the wedding cake, helps locate the missing rings, and ties her uncle's bowtie. Bobbie and Jamie get married in this sensitively-written picture book which celebrates the love that adults can feel for each other in a nontraditional relationship. This book is a wonderful introduction to help children understand 21st-century definitions of marriage and love.
