Reading Is Fundamental: Gender and LGBTQ Books for Kids

For far too long, stories have been predominately about white, cis-het, people, making those who do not fit into this category feel left out.

These books can help children understand their feelings, express themselves, and remind them that, however they choose to identify, they deserve respect.
