When Chloe’s favorite uncle announces that he’s getting married, everyone is excited. Everyone except Chloe, that is. What if Uncle Bobby no longer has time for picnics, swimming, or flying kites? Chloe just wants to keep having fun with her favorite uncle, but she’s afraid everything is going to change. Can Uncle Bobby and his boyfriend Jamie show Chloe that, when it comes to family, the more the merrier? In this inspiring, love-filled story, Chloe learns just what family means.

Produced in coordination with GLAAD, this adorable picture book is a positive example of same-sex marriage and a celebration of family.

Reviews

 

"A joyous, heartwarming, sweet—and essential—update." - Kirkus, starred review 

"Those we love, [Soto] and Brannen show, needn't change just because they love someone else, too - there's plenty of room in the human heart." - Publishers Weekly

“Uncle Bobby’s Wedding got the picture book glow-up of the century. I will fight anyone - I don’t think any picture book has been updated in a better way than this book.” - Picture Bookstagang

"This book would be so great in classrooms! I’m going to buy it for my nephew, and send it to him. I’m getting married next year, so I thought it would be a cute gift celebrating love and family!"  - TeachertoTeacher

"Valiant, valid, validating, valuable." - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked

"What a joy!  Being an actual 'Uncle Bobby' myself, I'm thrilled that Sarah Brannen's beautiful and moving tale has arrived just in time for the young, twenty-first century reader." - Robert Sabuda

 

“Chloe’s wish comes true—not only will she not lose her favorite Uncle Bobby, but she’ll gain a SECOND uncle, too!  This tender story shows that love is love is love.”

— Brian Lies, author-illustrator of Caldecott Honor book The Rough Patch

 

“This is a heartwarming book about a loving family. I teared up reading this thinking of how wonderful it would have been to have read this as a child and how lucky I am to read it as an adult. Uncle Bobby and Jamie get to show Chloe that when they get married life does change, but only for the better.”

— Adam Rippon, Olympic medal-winning figure skater
