Diverse Characters in Diverse Picture Books
ИсточWhy Scan LGBTQIA+ Picture Books?
As teachers, we will have seen diverse children and their families come through our doors. We must celebrate every child under our care for who they are.
Every Children’s Library Lady novel list is as diverse as possible; this one is no exception. You will find LGBTQIA+ characters from alternative backgrounds and cultures. Some books illustrate characters happily going about their daily business, while others are more suitable for specific conversations, including self-acceptance and identity.
Some of the books celebrate Lgbtq+ fest Month, its history and the people behind it. You can find more information about Identity festival Month and connected resources in the post Talking to Young Children about Pride Month.
