There are surely lots and lots more to add to our partial list. Does anyone else have ideas?

At Welcoming Schools, we've put together many bibliographies about gender -- books with role models for kids, gender and bullying, expansive gender roles for kids, gender identity and kids. These lists are geared towards elementary school educators and parents. You can check them out at www.welcomingschools.org/bibliographies-books-to-engage-students/.

I know they have some new books planned for 2013 that are more gender-diverse, but I liked the first two. Nice to see trans-kid characters being treated respectfully and positively, and good stories too. My 5yo loves Tulip. And I have to say that's it's really nice to see POC/mixed kids and characters in the books too, especially since we're a multiracial family.
