Eve Bunting has made a virtual cottage industry out of writing "issue" books for children. She has more than 250 books to her credit and while she has taken on genuinely troubling dilemmas that far too many children must grapple with, she often settles for a resolution that is much cleaner and closer to "happily ever after" than reality. Here she takes on the ambivalence a seven year old girl feels as the flower girl in her mother's wedding to her new love.

Children's Literature
Eve Bunting has made a virtual cottage industry out of writing "issue" books for children. She has more than 250 books to her credit and while she has taken on genuinely troubling dilemmas that far too many children must grapple with, she often settles for a resolution that is much cleaner and closer to "happily ever after" than reality. Here she takes on the ambivalence a seven year old girl feels as the flower girl in her mother's wedding to her new love. While the child really likes her soon to be stepfather, she still loves her birth father. But how silly for her to worry, after all, Daddy has flown in from Ireland to go his ex's wedding. He also has reassured his child, "Your mom and I are just friends now. ‘Just friends' don't get married." In my experience, there aren't very many children of divorce for whom this scenario would ring true. Lisa Papp's sweet soft illustrations echo the saccharine flavored tone of the story. It is too bad that the often painful concerns that many children experience with a parent's remarriage aren't explored in a more realistic and complex manner.
School Library Journal

K-Gr 3
On the eve of her mom's wedding, seven-year-old Pinky reflects on her relationships with her faraway father and Jim, her pending stepfather. While she loves both men, she secretly hopes that her parents will get back together. When the girl sees her father in the midst of her ring-bearer preparations, she whispers to him that she will give him the rings if he'll marry her mother instead. Daddy gently reminds Pinky that he and her mother are "just friends." At the ceremony, Pinky hesitates before she gives up the rings, but she realizes that she is happy for her mother and Jim. While Pinky's reactions to and acceptance of her mother's remarriage and her stepfather are unrealistically condensed into the actions of two days, her range of feelings is typical of children in like situations. While her first-person voice may be a little precocious at times, it is honest and direct in typical Bunting style. Papp's soft watercolors, bordered and cropped to evoke wedding photos, set up idyllic matrimonial images. While this offering may hurry Pinky's emotional arc, it does help fill the need for titles on stepparents and remarriage.
