Le jour où papa s’est remarié
(The day daddy got married again) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
Guillaume is upset because his daddy is getting married again. Marilou tells the teacher that he’s not marrying a lady, but… a man! Guillaume is worried. If he turns out gay like his daddy, how can he achieve his own plan to become a dad? Miradie says he can adopt a baby. Alima says maybe she will be gay too and they can have a baby together and share joint custody. All these bright ideas cheer Guillaume up, and the class can get on with their lesson!
