Why is it that when I read a story about a lawsuit against a school (in the US) and the book in question is described like this:
“King & King” tells the story of a crown prince who rejects a bevy of beautiful princesses, rebuffing each suitor until falling in love with a prince. The two marry, sealing the union with a kiss, and live happily ever after.
I immediately want to rush out and buy it for Noah? (It’s $23.95 + S&H. Maybe not that much. Tricycle Press though, if you’re looking for it.)
I truly do not care whether Noah ends up straight, gay, bi; poly, mono, whatever, as long as he’s healthy and whatever turns him on is not my fault. So why would I be more into getting him that book and not other ones? Maybe it’s the novelty factor for me. I dunno.
P.S. Though the ‘bevy of beautiful princesses’ made me laugh.
“I truly do not care whether Noah ends up straight, gay, bi; poly, mono, whatever, as long as he’s healthy and whatever turns him on is not my fault.”
You cannot know how much I echo that sentiment about my own son–and how it made me laugh.
“So why would I be more into getting him that book and not other ones? Maybe it’s the novelty factor for me. I dunno.”
yeah, it’s an original. makes sense to me. (and it’s SOOO much better than the god awful “heather has two mommies” and “gloria goes to gay pride”!)
my partner used to read prince & prince in her storytimes when she was a children’s librarian (along with het books of course, for the diversity of it). she never got in trouble.
cheers.
clearly, i meant king & king, not prince & prince. ha! royally dyslexic.
