A bug is a bug, and a slug is a slug. And everyone knows . . . bugs and slugs DO NOT mix! But when Barney the bug and Sally the slug fall in love, bugs everywhere begin to question what they were so sure of before. The entire bug kingdom watches as these two brave lovebugs take the matter to the supreme bug court to plead their case for bugs and slugs to be together, despite their differences. The judges are divided, but one smart ladybug, Ruth Bader Ladybug, sees to the heart of the matter. Follow along as Barney and Sally fight the law for love.
A Bug, A Slug, and A Ladybug introduces children to the judicial system and how to fight for their beliefs. Following the story of Barney the bug and Sally the slug, young readers learn of marriage equality, diverse family units, and the heroic legal ladybug modeled after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
