Children’s Books Promoting Marriage Equality

March 26, 2013 by Meredith @ Homegrown Friends

As my final project in grad school I created a Family Study for 4 and 5 year olds that would combat heterosexism (institutionalized homophobia). Out of any curriculum I designed this Family Study remains closest to my heart. A large piece of the curriculum was introducing young children to gay relationships through children’s literature.

Whether you are a gay couple looking for children’s literature that reflects your family, a heterosexual parent understanding the importance of educating your children on all types of families or just a person who loves literature, I hope you will enjoy these Children’s Books Promoting Marriage Equality.
