As a result of her kind heart and glowing spirit, Mardell has developed a strong bond with her viewers. Other terms relate to LGBTQ culture (about which more below), and some are words often used in relation to the LGBTQ community, but not exclusive to us, like “Ally,”“Family,” and “Equality. As someone who's relatively new to the lgbtq+ community, this was such a well structured and educational read. This is a serious and ongoing issue, and I was heartbroken when I saw their only promotion materials were buttons that said "A is for Ally.

Seuss the scapegoat for evil, yet a book that promotes sexual identity to toddlers an preschoolers, not? My 14-year-old son lives in a high school context that looks different than my own in the early 1990s. I hope lesbian moms (and others) will find something interesting and perhaps worthy of conversation. A bonus glossary offers opportunities for further discussion of complete terms, communities, and inclusive identities. I'll let you finish off the potential title - and if you think I'm being ludicrous, check out the movie "Idiocracy" - it's terribly painful to watch, but you'll find some valid reference points).

Lindsay Amer, the creative mind behind the YouTube channel Queer Kid Stuff, a channel of educational LGBTQ+ videos for all ages, thinks the book is necessary for families’ libraries. It is important that children understand that we are all born different and that there is no one catch description that fits all.

Why is this crap being generated so fast and why is normal society allowing it to be moved into the minds of our children? Webb’s book also shares (part of) a title and theme with GAYBCs: A Queer Alphabet , by Rae Congdon (Greystone Books, 2018). As more and more lesbians parent children by means of artificial insemination, the traits that many look for in the “donor” catalog are blond hair, blue eyes and taller in height.

The GayBCs is a heartwarming and accessible gift to show kids and adults alike that every person is worthy of being celebrated. I'm all for inclusion, but these topics for little kids are just more noise, which parents then have to explain. This book is supposed to highlight and inform the various identities within the LGBTQ* community, but it immediately sidelines us in our own story. Thanks to the author and publisher for making this change, and especially thanks to the other reviewers who spoke up about this erasure and forced the publisher to take notice.

I received an ARC at this year's BookExpo, and I was excited to support my local Philly publisher, Quirk Books. According to Becca Mui, GLSEN’s education manager, helping young people see themselves and understand the world around them and how diverse it really is benefits all students.

But the fact that this self affirmation costs a child their innocence, and healthy outlook on life is simply unacceptable. I believe parents could use this book with their young children to help normalize conversations about the full spectrum of loving relationships and gender-fluid identities. I think some of the terminology might go over kids heads, but this book is just an introduction so it won't make much of a difference.
