This is the Book We've All Been Waiting for
A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo is an adorably animated and eloquently told tale. While I'm waiting for my two copies of the hardback edition to come in the mail, I've already listened to the audiobook and it's SO very good! Jim Parsons is such a wonderful narrator and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jeff Garlin, Ellie Kemper, John Lithgow, Jack McBrayer, and RuPaul all add so much life and emotion to the story. I found myself actually tearing up and getting chills while listening to it. It seems silly since it's a children's book, however, it carries such an important and heartfelt message.
I've been teaching my children that it's okay to love anyone, they can be anyone, and they don't have to conform to gender norms. It's really nice that I now have a book for them that shows them that as well as assists them in handling bullies and discrimination. Thank you so, so much to John Oliver and all of the others that contributed to making this book possible. It is an honor to be able to purchase this book in all of its forms to support not only John Oliver and Last Week Tonight but also the very important and worthy causes it donates to.
