Transgender children may begin to express a strong sense of gender identity as early as 2-3 years of age. Children are also identifying as gay much sooner than earlier generations-often between the ages of 7 and 12. Additionally, more children than ever before are living with LGBTQIA+ caregivers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn seeking to make our programs and services inclusive and equitable for these growing populations, librarians may court controversy and face community backlash from patrons who feel queer-inclusive content is inappropriate for young children. This book codifies a set of best practices for librarians as they rise to this challenge, defining queer-inclusive programs, identifying potential barriers to implementation, and offering strategies and resources to overcome them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eResources for Additional Support\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Santos Green, Jenna Spiering, Vanessa Lynn Kitzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440876770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440876776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/21\/2022","brand":"Lucy Santos Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132279288063,"sku":"9781440876776","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf3f9f24-7fb7-4589-b062-47dea01f172c.jpg?v=1687479278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lgbtqia-inclusive-childrens-librarianship-lucy-santos-green-9781440876776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
