Julián at the Wedding

LOCAL AUTHOR

Julián is going to be in a wedding, and he is so excited. It is fun to get dressed up and celebrate those who love each other, even with their dog, Gloria. “A wedding is a party for love.” Julian meets Marisol, who is also in the wedding. The grandparents get to eat and celebrate while Julián and Marisol play outside, until Gloria gets them all dirty. Julian thinks he can save the day, because you can’t be dirty at a wedding! Julián uses some spare table cloth and shares his clothes with Marisol, then they can dance with their family. This book has a great message that love is love, and every family is unique and that is ok, because all that matters is the love in the family. My favorite part of this book is Julián and Marisol dancing with their moms to celebrate their wedding. The illustrations are brightly colored and very detailed. My favorite part of this book is when Gloria gets Marisol dirty because puppies are silly. Julián saves the day when he creates a new outfit for Marisol.
