recommendations on best LGBQT+ books for children

[AttachmentNanny]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had some good sugestions for story books from pr-school to teen that include LGBQT+ or diversity in general as a running theme.

Thanks so much in advance :)

Is this for children of LGBT parents, or not?

If you want books for small children unfamiliar with the idea of LGBT families, there's things like 'Tango Makes Three' or the (crap) 'Heather has Two Mummies'.

But I always feel these read very weirdly to my DD who has two mummies, because she's grown up with that and so making it a 'thing' actually makes her feel more out of place and confused about it.

There are, sadly, vanishingly few books where LGBT contexts are just 'there' in the background. I tried really hard to find them!

If I had 100 Mummies,
king and King
Spacegirl Pukes
Hello Sailor
The family book
Worm loves Worm

Princess princess ever after

All these books have Lgbt characters without it being a. ‘Thing’ that the characters are LGBT or 2 mums etc
