Our children are gorgeously diverse and they love a good read. At the heart of Real Kids/ Good Books are authors and illustrators who are building a new diverse canon, book by dazzling book.
Themes include: children of color, LGBTQ, adoption, special needs, math, science and writing. And of course there is also a mishmash of miscellany and reblogged tidbits that strike my fancy as they float by.
Thanks for stopping by.

#Real Kids/ Good Books Review
Fiesta (1996), Siesta (2005), Bravo (2010). All by Ginger Foglesong Guy, illustrated by Rene King Moreno.
A triumvirate of cute. All great examples of simple bilingual books for the youngest among us.

#Real Kids/ Good Books Review
Mommy, Mama and Me
Daddy, Papa and Me
both by Leslea Newman, illustrated by Carol Thompson.
These board books for the youngest children are so validating for queer families. There is everything you would expect in a board book for this age and yet the message that there are all kinds of families comes shining through.
