Beautifully rendered with vividly colorful pictures OUR DAUGHTER IS GETTING MARRIED is a book written for children. It is about two young women in love and getting married. This much needed picture book, written in rhyming form, captures the essence of supportive families, and explains the joining of two female partners who begin a voyage of love and togetherness. The rhyming words and colorful pictures unfold to reveal a story of love and harmony enjoyed by all family members.
It begins when one of the mothers receives a phone call from her daughter telling of her intentions to get married. The reader is taken on an exciting journey of selecting wedding rings, choosing gowns, sending wedding invitations, deciding on flowers and the wedding cake, decorating the reception hall, and finally joining in the final vows to become partners for life. This is followed by the father-daughter dance and the reception itself.
OUR DAUGHTER IS GETTING MARRIED is a powerful message for the real life circumstances of many members of the LGBT community. It brings harmony and common sense and will do much to remove divisiveness. Told with incredible sensitivity, this story will change how some people will view marriage---especially a LGBT marriage. Once read, the book will NOT be forgotten.

A whimsical octopus portrays contrasting emotions and then invites young readers to see those feelings in themselves. It is a great book for acknowledging, in a non-threatening way, that each person has countless emotions that are not always consistent. The book appeals to readers of all ages. (Pre-K through 2)
A diverse, whimsical, comprehensive, contrasting book for all readers to reflect on their emotions! This book is realistic allowing readers to have a self to text experience. Regardless of your ethnicity and cultural background you are able to relate to this book. We all occupy different spaces on the emotional range, each and every day...brave, sad, scared, happy, caring, etc. Inside Me, Sometimes helps readers to see the commonality we all share. It also encourages a healthy perspective about life and the emotional roller coaster that is a part of life. I plan to use the book as a warm-up during training sessions.

Jeeper loves to fish. Jeeper and Dad plan to go fishing but life and commitments get in the way. On three occasions events occur that prevent the fishing trip: Dad has an unexpected teacher’s meeting the first day, Jeeper does not pay attention and must stay after school the second day, and the third day Dad is not able to go. On that third day, Jeeper, feeling very disappointed and rejected, decides to clean their boat that is tied to the dock in front of the house. Jeeper goes to the shed to get cleaning supplies. While in the shed, he finds an old fishing magazine, sprawls out on a lawn chair to look at it, and falls asleep. He awakens to a stormy night. A red glow flickers through the window. Jeeper looks out to see emergency vehicles backing a boat trailer into the raging waves. He is afraid that something horrible has happened to Mom and Dad. He runs to the house to find that Mom and Dad had the same fears about him. They thought he had forgotten the rule about never taking the boat out alone. They are relieved and happy to see Jeeper and at the same time gruff sounding. Jeeper eats dinner and Mom tucks him into bed. Jeeper felt warm all over as he remembered how happy Mom and Dad were to see him. “Fishing is something we can do another day,” he said smiling, and he closed his eyes.
