Empowering LGBTQ2S Books (for kids)

[killing_rose]

Ran across this on the Advocate today:

Description from the kickstarter: Empowering, celebratory LGBTQ2S-themed kids' picture books for 4-8 year olds, delivered right to your home or school every other month.

Welcome to the Flamingo Rampant Book Club! Over the course of a subscription year, we will send you six BRAND NEW books - one every other month, each written specifically for this book club. These books will celebrate the great and wide variety of LGBTQ2S kids, families, and communities. That means when our books feature lesbian mums or gay dads, they get storylines: travels, adventures and mysteries to solve, rather than entire books pointing out that we exist. That means fully half of our books every year will center Black, Latin@, Indigenous, First Nations, Asian/Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, and mixed-race people and cultures instead of making them minor, one-line characters - and these books will be written by people of color. It means our books will celebrate gender-independent kids and adults as their whole selves, however they identify. It means Flamingo Rampant books will uplift and affirm families that include extended relations or relatives of heart or choice.

I don't have much to donate this year, due to circumstances, but surely this is something that can be signal-boosted and supported. :)
