The GayBCs

I was a bit stunned to be honest.

I'm just waiting for the book titled, "How to cut off your own "Pe..." (I'll let you finish off the potential title - and if you think I'm being ludicrous, check out the movie "Idiocracy" - it's terribly painful to watch, but you'll find some valid reference points). The topic will likely come up in discussion at some point later on when they're older, unless they've already been exposed to unsavoury and inappropriate behaviours, or, alternatively, they have gay parents (which may require some explanation and it's simple - sometimes people like people that have the same body parts).

Or for an adult, just because.”

"An invaluable resource for demystifying LGBTQ+ vocab for kids...packed with the type of positive messages I love sharing with my kids and I want all kids to hear..."

—Dad Suggests

Hi there!

I know that  talking about  gender, sexuality,  and  LGBTQIA+  (lesbian,  gay, bisexual, transgender,  queer, intersex, asexual, and more!) issues with kids can be challenging, so I hope reading The GayBCs with your small human(s) makes it easier and more fun! Kids are growing up in an increasingly confusing world and this certainly isn't helping.

The GayBCs is perfect for fans of A Is for Activist and Feminist Baby—showing kids and adults alike that every identity is worthy of being celebrated.

"The board book version of this award-winning 2019 book offers a perfect way to teach little kids about LGBTQ+ words and identities."

—READER'S DIGEST

"Webb's book creates a space for kids to voice their questions about the LGBTQ+ community and the many labels that lie within it, in a way that promotes curiosity."

—Booklist

“The GayBCs by M.L.

Webb will certainly give a “woke” education to children at an early age.”

—The Advocate

“The perfect way to teach your kiddos LGBTQ+ vocab while celebrating the beauty of embracing yourself and others.”

—KIWI Magazine

“[The GayBCs] works well as a read-aloud 'discussion starter' for parents to share with their children.”

—Midwest Book Review

“For the child with two Mommies or two Daddies, and for the kids in that child's preschool session...or it might make a great gift for the adult who still possesses the wonder of a child.

I played with the boys and the girls. Don't drag your kids into your political agendas and confuse the heck out of them or put confusing ideas in their head. The children in the ink, paint, and collage digital spreads show a variety of emotions, but most are happy to be at school, and the surroundings will be familiar to those who have made an orientation visit to their own schools.

While this is a fairly bland treatment compared to Deborah Lee Rose and Carey Armstrong-Ellis’ The Twelve Days of Kindergarten (2003), it basically gets the job done.

Why is Dr. Seuss the scapegoat for evil, yet a book that promotes sexual identity to toddlers an preschoolers, not? Nobody told me I couldn't play with trucks and had to play with dolls and we raised our child to enjoy what she enjoyed without turning it into a gender identity experience. You can do these activities one-on-one or with a group.

This guide has simple and clever ideas for talking about the words and concepts explored in The GayBCs in order to deepen the contextual understanding with your kids.

Thank you so, so much for picking up The GayBCs! I read it. While the days are given ordinal numbers, the song skips the cardinal numbers in the verses, and the rhythm is sometimes off: “On the second day of kindergarten / I thought it was so cool / making lots of friends / and riding the bus to my school!” The narrator is a white brunette who wears either a tunic or a dress each day, making her pretty easy to differentiate from her classmates, a nice mix in terms of race; two students even sport glasses.

I saw this in Barnes and Noble while looking for something completely different, which I never found. Does the world really need an ABC explainer on various alternative lifestyles for toddlers and little kids?
