Book: A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo
Author: Marlon Bundo and Jill Twiss
Description: This story is about a boy bunny, Marlon, who has a very lonely life until one day when he meets another bunny boy bunny, Wesley, who he falls for. Marlon and Wesley enjoy spending time together and decide that they want to get married but encounter trouble when the presidential figure, the Stink Bug, says boy bunnies can’t marry boy bunnies. Marlon and Wesley along with their friends take on the Stink Bug through a vote that dismantles the Stink Bug as the decision-maker. Love wins in the adorable tale and with the support of their friends, Marlon and Wesley get married and start a family.
How it illustrates diversity:
I have used this book in my classroom for the past two years to teach about family and relationship diversity and acceptance. This book provides an opportunity for students to see themselves or their family structures reflected in literature or other kinds of family structures helping them build understanding and empathy for others.
