1st line/s:  "Hello.  My name is Marlon Bundo, and I am a bunny."

My comments:  Oh my gosh, this is wonderful!  Never mind that this gay bunny is owned by our current Vice President (Pence!) but he wants to get married to boot.  Lots of wonderful issues are treated  clearly, fairly, and with wonderful fun... and every cent earned goes to a charity that helps with better treatment for the LGBTQ community.

GoodreadsHBO's Emmy-winning Last Week Tonight with John Oliver presents a picture book about a Very Special boy bunny who falls in love with another boy bunny.
          Meet Marlon Bundo, a lonely bunny who lives with his Grampa, Mike Pence - the Vice President of the United States. But on this Very Special Day, Marlon's life is about to change forever...
          With its message of tolerance and advocacy, this charming children's book explores issues of same sex marriage and democracy. Sweet, funny, and beautifully illustrated, this book is dedicated to every bunny who has ever felt different.
          100% of Last Week Tonight's proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project and AIDS United
