Despite the fact that they share a name, Big Bob and Little Bob are different. Big Bob likes trucks and throwing balls and being loud. Little Bob likes dolls and jingling bracelets and being quiet. No matter what they do, they do not do it the same. Could they possibly be friends despite these differences? With humor and tenderness, James Howe and Laura Ellen Anderson beautifully depict the struggles and rewards that come when friendships are forged between different kinds of people.

ISBN: 1453547290 ; 9781453547298
Summary: From the heart of a man whose greatest wish and wildest dream in life is to be a father comes a wonderfully touching story of adoption and of dreams coming true. Author Brian Tessier and artist Donna Estabrooks collaborate to create The Wildest Dream, a heartwarming read that brings forth inspiring messages of hope, parenting, and faith. This book is the sibling of The Greatest Wish, as Tessier has two children, so there must be two books. The Wildest Dream, while able to stand out on its own follows The Greatest Wish. Everyone has dreams and these wild dreams can come true if one truly believes. In this beautifully crafted picture book, the author a single, gay father, shares with everyone the adoption story he tells his second son. But because of the depth of this story’s message, this can very well be applied and shared with those who want to convey how special someone is to them. The central message, is to communicate just how special someone is in your life, to have hope and persevere. With vivid colors, abstract images, and vibrant paintings, the artist has adroitly captured the real essence of the story; thus, perfectly complementing the author’s words and message. The Wildest Dream was birthed from wishes, created by hope, and written in love for all who deserve to know that they are someone’s wildest dream. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book fund We Hear the Children Inc (www.wehearthechildren.org), an organization created to benefit education, the arts, diversity, tolerance and environmental children.

Summary: O livro conta a história da princesa Cíntia, que quando nasceu foi prometida em casamento para Febo, o príncipe do reino vizinho, para que se mantivessem os laços de amizade entre os reinos. Quando chegou a época da cerimônia, a princesa foi encomendar seu vestido e, então, conheceu a costureira Isthar, por quem se apaixonou. Quando Cíntia anunciou para os pais suas intenções com Ishtar e disse que não mais se casaria com Febo, seu pai mandou que a prendessem na torre do castelo, pois desafiou o interesse e a tradição dos reinos, que dizia que moças deveriam se casar com rapazes. Para garantir um final feliz, a princesa e a costureira receberão ajuda da irmã da princesa, do próprio príncipe, da Fada Madrinha e de uma Agulha Mágica. O livro pretende auxiliar famílias e escolas, tanto na discussão sobre a diversidade humana como sobre a luta mais ampla pelos direitos das pessoas LGBT.
