It’s Transgender Awareness Week and National Young Readers Week, which means it’s time for a roundup of some great picture, chapter, and middle grade books from 2023 with trans characters!

Happy Transgender Parent Day! For today and any day, here are some great picture books (including a brand-new one!) and middle grade titles featuring trans parents and their kids. I wish all transgender parents a day full of love and happiness, and many more to come.
More and more LGBTQ-inclusive kids’ books are not just “about” being LGBTQ, but instead show LGBTQ people in the fullness of our lives. The downside is that sometimes these books can be hard to find. Here are 10 picture books you may have missed!
Witches, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, and monsters abound in 2023’s LGBTQ-inclusive kids’ books! These spooky stories show protagonists confronting their fears, both inner and outer, to save themselves and those around them. Read them for Halloween or any time!

Banned Books Week may be over, but the need for quality, inclusive books continues. That’s why I’m proud to announce that the Mombian Database of LGBTQ Family Books now has more than 1400 items in it, with over 200 added this year! Search and filter for what you want, and read my in-depth reviews!
This week marks Banned Books Week, the American Library Association’s (ALA’s) annual event celebrating of “the freedom to read” and drawing attention to the “harms of censorship.” With record numbers of bans across the country, the need for such awareness is greater than ever.

Non-profit Pride and Less Prejudice, which has donated over 10,000 LGBTQ-inclusive picture books to elementary school classrooms since 2019, is holding a virtual auction through this weekend so they can send 1,200 more. Check out some of the amazing offerings!
