Daddy's Wedding

Willhoite's illustrations have always had the cartoony appeal of Kevin Henkes and that helps to make them more calming and sweet. This book is more a pleasant fantasy of how things should be and might be in the future than it is a realistic depiction of present day gay America.This well done book is a must for men or women contemplating same-sex marriages who also have young children. It is the story of a divoriced man who is re-marrying. He just happens to be marrying another man. It is presentd in such a way that it doesn't feel like anything too out of the ordinary for most of the people involved.It doesn't quite live up to the simple, realistic Daddy's Roommate...but it is an excellent and necessary book!
