"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

"A large-hearted affirmation of society's newest kind of wedding." Booklist

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

"With warm, richly colored, and expressive illustrations by Lucia Soto, the book, published in partnership with GLAAD, serves as a gentle and welcome celebration of the different shapes love and family can take." Boston Globe

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 that she's not losing an uncle . . . she's gaining one.

Originally published in 2008 and re-imagined in 2020, Uncle Bobby's Wedding is one of the most important picture books to center the lives of LGBTQ families. In 2025, Uncle Bobby's Wedding was featured prominently in the controversial and often criticized Supreme Court of the United States case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, where this charming story about a girl and her favorite doting uncle made huge waves.

Produced in partnership with GLAAD, Uncle Bobby's Wedding is a loving celebration of a caring and thoughtful family who help a child realize that change can be good.
