In honor of Transgender Day of Visibility today, here are some terrific recent picture, chapter, and middle grade books with trans protagonists (including real-life heroes), great for reading at any time of year!
In celebration of Transgender Awareness Week, but good for reading all year long, here are reviews of some of my favorite picture, middle grade, and grown-up books from 2024 that feature trans youth or trans parents (and sometimes both).
This Sunday marks Transgender Day of Visibility, so let’s showcase some middle grade and picture book titles from 2023 and 2024 with transgender protagonists, great to read all year ’round!
For Transgender Day of Visibility, I can think of no better book to highlight than this engaging middle-grade memoir by a young trans teen himself, telling his own childhood story. It feels like a vital, potentially lifesaving book at this moment in time.
Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility, so I’m celebrating by rounding up 25 (!) picture books with transgender and/or nonbinary characters that have been published in 2020 and 2021 alone. (I’ll also show you how to find older trans-inclusive kids’ books and ones for and about trans parents.)
