<p class="MsoNormal">A patron is looking for book recommendations:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Hello! I am looking for a picture book to help my niece understand that it is possible for two women to get married. This is in preparation for my own wedding coming up in a few months. When I told her I was getting married to another
woman, she said, "you can't do that." I have done some basic research about picture books that feature an LGB family and have not found quite what I'm looking for. Most books are about a family, which is not what I want because I don't have any kids. A lot
of other books are about gay men, not women. I also don't want a book that lists lots of different types of families. Ideally the book would be at her reading level (5 yrs old) and have two women that don't have children getting married. The closest book I
found that I liked was Worm Loves Worm. But this isn't actually with human characters. I also liked Heather has two Mommies. Though I prefer a book I would be fine with some other type of media that would be easy, like a movie or show, or even a video. She
is mostly into princesses and the like so anything with that type of subject would be a bonus. Books I have already looked at are The Family Book by Todd Parr, Molly's family, Tango makes Three, We are family by Patricia Hagerty, A family is a family is a
family, and Stella brings the family. Thank you x=so much!!”<o:p></o:p></p>
