I continue to get email in an interesting way. This time it is from a web site called Babble, which bills itself as, “The magazine and community for a new generation of parents.” They want me to plug an article that looks at books for kids that include gay characters. It is by Brett Berk, and you can find it here. Overall I thought it was pretty good. I’m not an expert on the field, but it is good to know that those books are out there. I knew about And Tango Makes Three, but not the others. Obviously there are more such books around, and the article does welcome comments if you want to suggest some.

I would have liked to see mention of Ten Thousand Dresses, by my good friend Marcus Ewert, which as far as I know is the only young children’s picture book about a transgender child.
