Woodstein \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePicture books are books aimed at children where the illustrations are as important, or more important, than the text. Picture books, the effects of their simple text and importance in the literary canon, have been studied by scholars for decades, but little attention has been given to LGBTQ+ picture books. \u003ci\u003eReading LGBTQ+ Children's Picture Books\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of essays that identifies and interprets children's picture books that explicitly represent LGBTQ+ content. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors to the volume include established and emerging scholars with expertise in the fields of children's literature, young adult literature, cultural studies, critical race and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies, history, and education. Each essay introduces readers to several children's books that denote unmistakable LGBTQ+ content. Essays bring various interpretive frameworks and intellectual commitments to their unique readings of LGBTQ+ children's picture books. The essays in \u003ci\u003eReading LGBTQ+ Children's Picture Books\u003c\/i\u003e produce innovative new scholarship about a range of topics including representations of LGBTQ+ marriage and parenting and LGBTQ+ history and culture. The topics explored, and theoretical frameworks applied, significantly expand available and accessible up-to-date scholarship on the growing field of LGBTQ+ children's picture books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Children's Literature Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496854957","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43311330885769,"sku":"9781496854957","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d9929ff8-c360-4b0a-9e3e-39b5309f4466.jpg?v=1738052807","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/reading-lgbtq-childrens-picture-books-9781496854957","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
