In this heartwarming celebration of LGBTQ+ love, inclusivity, and friendship that's geared toward children ages 3-7, the young narrator is invited to a giants' wedding and learns that love is love, no matter how big or small.

When one small human is invited to the wedding of two giants, they don’t quite know what to expect. At this celebration, everyone is welcome--from giants and unicorns to witches, wizards, and all kinds of mythical creatures. And although each guest is different with their own background and story, one message is clear: Love is just love, whether giant or small. A playful and moving celebration of LGBTQ+ love.
