Seeing Love: Books for Tweens

BLM Book Lists.png

How do you teach your children to listen to different voices and experiences? How do you teach them empathy for these different experiences?

ADD Love to your shelves!! Actively add Queer voices and perspectives into your home; have what your children hear, the artwork they see, and the books they read reflect diversity, inclusivity, and love.

Reading books together prompt discussion and lessons; self education begins at home. I encourage you to add love to your bookshelves. PLEASE use this list as a starting point to teach and talk about the Queer community in your home and with your Tween NOW!
