Sarah Brannen at Books Inc in the Castro July 24, 2008

Author Sarah Brannen, will be reading from her new children's book, Uncle Bobby's Wedding.

Bobby and Jamie are getting married, but Bobby's niece Chloe is worried that she won't be his favorite person anymore. Will Uncle Bobby still think she is special?

Sarah Brannen's warm story is set in an alternative family as Uncle Bobby marries his boyfriend. "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" embraces Bobby's relationship with Jamie, but keeps its focus where it truly belongs: on an uncle and niece's love for each other.

Beautifully told and charmingly illustrated, this simple yet moving story begs to be read time and again.

About the author:

Sarah S. Brannen received her BA in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard and her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Pennsylvania. "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" is her first book for children. She lives in Sudbury, Massachusetts.

Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California. Books Inc.'s origin dates back to the Gold Rush Days of 1851 when Anton Roman struck it rich in Shasta City, California and set himself up in business selling books. That small bookstore was moved, bought, sold, burned, rebuilt, renamed and became Books Inc., as we know it today, in 1946.

Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.
