Reviews
"Each spread shows Fleur and Julian joyfully celebrating in festive settings, often with other couples around them. The art has a graphic, flat quality that makes the most of the rainbow palette in scenes that could translate to postcard or poster images, and the text highlighting fairness, safety, and pride helps make the adult institution of marriage accessible to young readers. . . . Moving and inspiring." -Kirkus Reviews
"This is a really uplifting book . . . it's a children's book but it is also a work of activism. . . . One of the striking things about this book is the illustrations by artist Fatinha Ramos. [Fleur and Fatinha] depict the cultures of these different places so vividly, in writing and in pictures." -Marco Werman, "PRI's The World"
