I Promise

Catherine Hernandez's debut novel Scarborough was shortlisted for
a Lambda Literary Award, the Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction, and
the Trillium Prize, Ontario's richest literary award. Her latest, I Promise, is a beautiful tribute to the resiliency of diverse families.


Featuring tender-hearted illustrations by renowned artist Syrus Marcus
Ware, I Promise captures with love and honesty the intimate moments of
parenting in all their messy glory -- from dealing with a kid who
doesn't want to brush their teeth to looking under the bed for monsters
to cuddling after a long day. This charming picture book showcases the
many shapes, sizes, and colors that families come in, emphasizing that
every queer family starts with the sacred promise to love a child.
