Great up-to-date info! submitted by Xris on April 1, 2022, 12:31pm Wish I had know about this book for when my kids were growing up. But now I know it's there for my students and future grandchildren. They're great about covering LGBTQ+ topics in the content as well as including all people in the illustrations. I recommend this great resource!
