Mama’s getting married, and Jackson has crucial job to do! A story about love, weddings, and the special joy that may be a blended circle of relatives.

Jackson’s mama is getting married, and he gets to be the ring bearer. But Jackson is worried . . . What if he trips? Or walks too slowly? Or drops the rings? And what about his new stepsister, Sophie? She’s supposed to be the flower girl, but Jackson’s not sure she’s taking her job as seriously as she will have to.
 
In a celebration of blended families, this heartwarming story, stunningly illustrated by the award-winning Floyd Cooper, is an ideal gift for any child who’s nervous to walk down the aisle at a wedding, and shows kids that they may be able to care for life’s big changes.
