Woodstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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 cannon, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Reading LGBTQ+ Children’\u003cbr\u003es Picture Books: An Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJennifer Miller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1: Representing LGBTQ+ Families in North American Picture Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: From Roommates to Spouses: Shifting Representations of Marriage Equality in US Picture Books from 1995 to 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJason Vanfosson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: \"That’\u003cbr\u003es Not a Family\": Microaggressions, Resilience, and Agency in Depictions of Same-Sex-Parented Families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDana Rudolph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Representation Matters Now More Than Ever: Transgender and Nonbinary Parents in Children’\u003cbr\u003es Picture Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRob Bittner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2: Real(istic) Representations of GIaNTs in Picture Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Exceptional, Bullied, or Normal in the End: Representation of GIaNTs (Gender Independent, Nonbinary, and Trans) in Picture Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ej wallace skelton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: \u003ci\u003eBe Who You Are!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eI Am Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eI’\u003cbr\u003em Not a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSam!\u003c\/i\u003e Picturing Trans Childhoods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSara Austin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3: Mapping Representations in European Picture Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 7: The Road to Hell: Scandinavian LGBTQ+ Picturebooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB.
