The GayBCs
A joyful celebration of LGBTQ+ vocabulary for kids of all ages!
A playdate extravaganza transforms into a celebration of friendship, love, and identity as four friends sashay out of all the closets, dress up in a wardrobe fit for kings and queens, and discover the wonder of imagination.

A glossary in the back offers opportunity for further discussion of terms and identities. The GayBCs is perfect for fans of A Is for Activist and Feminist Baby—showing kids and adults alike that every identity is worthy of being celebrated.

Parent & Educator Guide
Hi there! Thank you so, so much for picking up The GayBCs! I know that  talking about  gender, sexuality,  and  LGBTQIA+  (lesbian,  gay, bisexual, transgender,  queer, intersex, asexual, and more!) issues with kids can be challenging, so I hope reading The GayBCs with your small human(s) makes it easier and more fun!

This guide has simple and clever ideas for talking about the words and concepts explored in The GayBCs in order to deepen the contextual understanding with your kids. You can do these activities one-on-one or with a group. If you’re a kid, you can do these activities on your own with a bit of support from a grown-up!
