Before I talk about this book I want to explain that it was originally published in 2008. The art and some wording was changed. The original book has the married to be uncles as hamsters (guinea pigs?) who are the same color. Word changes include (see comments)

“How can Uncle Bobby get married” (2008)

“Why is Uncle Bobby getting married” (2020)

Both picture books provide the same positive and adorable story about Chloe, who is scared she will lose her favorite uncle when he gets married. Of course Uncle Bobby helps her see that his husband is going to be her new Uncle but their relationship will never change. This is a great story for any child who is worried they will lose the bond between a family member getting married.

I am so happy to see the update to this book
