It explores how LGBTQcharacters are portrayed and what this says about contemporary society.

Of course. Epstein takes that crucial next step, though, and establishes some criteria for selecting and using these books. She weaves her own opinions in with those of other experts, comments from authors, and the voices of the characters themselves. From picture books to young adult literature, she helps us understand the value of these works, but also reveals some of the unintended messages teachers might want to avoid or compensate for. This book will be a good place to start for anyone new to LGBTQ children’s literature or food for thought for the experienced practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e * Renée DePalma Ungaro *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat world is created by the LGBT\/queer stories found in current children’s literature, and what world would we like to create going forward?
