Oh, my Willow is a very busy, adorable, and entirely inquisitive child. She's impulsive and creative, and your child will love her from the very first page. This is the third in the adorable Willow Series, and she is so excited to get to have an adventure. It is time for her uncle's wedding, and she gets to be the flower girl. There is an important topic here though, her uncle is getting married to his boyfriend. This book will start a genuine conversation about relationships, without hitting you over the head or having a set agenda. This is a children's book not a social justice agenda, so have no fear.

The trouble comes when Willow has a plan to make everything just perfect. She wants to improve upon a lot. Unfortunately, some of her plans are better than others. Also, her uncle has just thrown a huge monkey wrench into everything. He is completely and entirely refusing to participate in any dancing! How can there be a wedding with no dancing wonders our protagonist Willow? She decides that she can be the cure all and have harmony at the wedding. She does this by reminding him of how he used to like to dance. She tries to bring joy.

The question is will he dance? I guess you will have to read the book to find out ;)
