The Big Day: A Giant Celebration of Love

32 pp. | Tiger Tales | April, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781664300668 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Forrest Burdett. A child attends the wedding of two giants, at which guests enjoy the ceremony, a delicious meal, and dancing -- albeit with some unusual elements (the meal, for example, is served in “truck-tire-sized dishes”). The happy couple, two men, explain that they invited the human to share the message that “love is just love, whether GIANT or small.” The rhyming text is occasionally forced but delivers a warm, LGBTQ+ affirming message; the angular illustrations emphasize the silliness of the magical-creature-populated nuptials.
