REVIEWS:
"As one of the few children’s books that address LGBT issues, it serves as a conduit by which to bolster understanding in our community. The book plays a vital role in creating a brighter future for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth and their parents." CA State Senator Mark Leno

"It is a parent’s responsibility to teach their children tolerance of all people, and I have yet to find a better tool to begin that lesson than My Uncle’s Wedding." Alan Chin - Writer, Examiner.com

“It’s never too early to teach our nation’s children about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality. And ‘My Uncle’s Wedding’ does just that, showing children that marriage is about love and family. Eric Ross perfectly demonstrates that LGBT families share the same values as any other family, and his book will undoubtedly educate and inform generations to come about the freedom to marry. Bravo!” Kate Kendell, Esq. - Executive Director, National Center for Lesbian Rights

"This children's book is the perfect gift for any child who loves a good story and especially children with gay people in their family. The author approaches the subject of same-sex marriage with a child's sensitivity and sensibility, and the beautiful illustrations are sure to be enjoyed by kids and parents alike." Molly McKay - National Media Director, Marriage Equality USA

"My Uncle's Wedding" celebrates love from a young nephew's point of view of his favorite uncle's beautiful wedding.  Eric Ross has written a wonderful, heartwarming and important book in today's climate -- a beautiful educational tool for children -- showing that all love is equal and good." Del Shores - Writer/Director, Sordid Lives

"Everyone agrees that children should learn in an “age-appropriate” manner, but it’s also important that they learn tolerance and respect for everyone. With My Uncle’s Wedding, parents and teachers alike will have a great book to teach young children that a gay marriage is just like any marriage – it’s about two people who love each other." Paul Hogarth - Writer, BeyondChron

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything is awesome in the eyes of a child! February 15, 2011
Format:Paperback
Eric has created a simply beautiful journey that explores planning and celebrating a wedding through the eyes of a child. Andy's thoughts and feelings as he joins in each aspect of this joyous moment in his Uncle's life serves to remind us all of the beauty, innocence, and truth that is the union of two humans who love and are committed to eachother - far away from the 'adult' marriage debate. Two uncles are truly better than one...just ask my nephew!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for kids of all ages February 20, 2011
By TnK
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Eric Ross does a wonderful job in his book "My Uncle's Wedding" at showing there is absolutly no difference between a wedding for a same-sex couple and a wedding for a heterosexual couple. The focus is on the nephew and all he is going through in helping them plan the wedding and in being a part of the wedding. The exact same book could be written about a heterosexual couple getting married from the perspective of their nephew. No politics, no emphasis on what is common vs what is different about this wedding or this couple just a simple story about a beautiful wedding. I plan to buy a copy for all my friends with kids (and perhaps even a few without).

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you! February 22, 2011
Format:Paperback
I don't have my own kids yet, but I bought this book anyways. Eric Ross has shared with us a truly sweet and necessary story. It's a great step towards making marriage equality more acceptable and natural in our own lives, and counteracting the hate and ignorance our community suffers on a daily basis. I believe our time will be remembered for its inequality, and someday we will look back and realize that love, as simply as Ross describes it, can do nothing but good for us and our children.
