"Hello and welcome to the LGBT+ workbook for children. As an LGBT person myself, I felt it was really important to write a book for children to introduce them to the LGBT+ community. You may already know, or have some LGBT+ people in your life - perhaps someone at school has two mums or two dads or maybe you have an transgender or gay person in your family. Or maybe not, either way, hopefully this book will help you to understand the community a bit better and answer some questions you may have"--
With 5 fun tales featuring merpeople, a rainbow wedding and a back-to-front horse, this captivating guide to LGBTQ+ identities takes you on a journey through Clear Sky Castle to promote inclusion for children aged 6 to 9.
The interactive stories and games - including drawing, sculpting, word searches and quizzes - raise awareness of different kinds of families, as well as identities such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and non-binary, and teach acceptance for all. The resourceful 'Guide for Adults' at the end of the book offers advice, answers to activities throughout, and signposts to helpful organisations for the adult reading the book with the child.
Illustrated fairytales teaching children age 6 - 9 about gender identity and relationships. This engaging workbook will support inclusive learning environments in schools and the fun activities help children connect with and explore the ideas raised in each story.
