Book overview

When Ruby and her little sister Cindy wake up to a surprise--a special note from Mama asking them to be her flower girls--the excitement of the day begins.

As Cindy bounces with joy, Ruby moves more slowly, her heart full of questions. Through rehearsals and dresses, paper flowers and wedding vows, Ruby navigates the bittersweet feelings of seeing her family change. With the gentle support of Granny, the warmth of Daddy Daniel's love, and the quiet kindness of Alex, Mama's new husband, Ruby discovers that love doesn't disappear; it can grow in the most surprisingly beautiful ways.

This book is perfect for families experiencing change and is a heartfelt celebration of new beginnings, complex emotions, and the many forms love can take. A touching read for children and parents alike, Mama's Wedding is filled with empathy, hope, and the magic of becoming a new family.
