Briar Rose is a wonderful book but definitely for mature audiences, although I don't remember the gay Polish prince. We read it in an adult book club some years ago and it was not too young.

Based on the reviews in LibraryThing, there may be a scene that is too explicit for children. Rose Myers Fairfield, CT Stories are how we make sense of the world.

I don’t recall ever seeing this type of thing, with the exception of that new Kar-Ben book about Purim that had a family with two Dads. I would need examples of this in books for children up to grade 9. Any suggestions?
