We at the Family Equality Council are pumped to announce that today
is the beginning of “Dive Into Diversity Days: National Diversity
Book Month for Children”—a full month dedicated to sharing
LGBTQ-family friend books and increasing the visibility of our
families. This month is all about sharing the reality of our
families’ lives through books and reading. It is important that
our children have access to books that mirror their families and
books that challenge and broaden their conceptions of what a
“family” includes.
