What Readers are Saying!


"I loved that this book showed Rob thriving as he realized that being himself was a strength, not a weakness. The nonfiction was fascinating, and the illustrations were bright and full of joy. It's a beautiful book."

"Author Eric Ross's and illustrator Tracy Greene's book "My Uncle's Wedding" reveals the normalcy and simplicity behind the weddings of same gender couples. The story is told from the perspective of the ringbearer/narrator, who excitedly helps plan for his uncle's wedding day. The young narrator leads us from the engagement through the planning and reception. The language and illustrations are clear, kid-friendly, and age appropriate.[...]"

"What a wonderfully written children's book! Eric Ross does a fantastic job showing that a wedding is a wedding no matter who it is getting married. Pushing politics aside, he tells the story of a couple planning for their big day and the excitement it generates for their nephew, Andy. The children I have read it to love going through the wedding preparations with Andy and his uncles, though they can't wait to get to the part with the bird pooping. Well done, Mr. Ross! I'm looking forward to the next one."

"After reading Kathleen's book "Pride and Joy LGBTQ Artists, Icons and Everyday Heroes" and listening to Eric's "Guide for Gay Dads" I'm not surprised at how well their writing styles have meshed in "We Make It Better"! Wonderfully quick and easy read, perfect for todays' young LGBQT readers! You can tell by the list of resources that there was an enormous amount of research and validation that went into the making of this book. Do not hesitate to buy it now and please recommend it to your local library!"
