LGBTQ+ Children’s books

LGBTQ+ children’s books can not only be useful tools to educate youngsters about different gender and sexual identities, human rights issues, and challenges of the queer community, but also help parents and educators talk about gender roles and identity with them. Yet, the existence of such publications is not without controversies. While sometimes they are welcomed and gladly used in schools, it is not uncommon that LGBTQ+ books face backlash and may even get banned.
