This morning for QUILTBAG Story Time, Dean & Navi check out a great story for children who have Transgender parents or relatives.

He’s My Mom! by Sarah Savage and illustrated by Joules Garcia

My Moms name is David. He used to be a she but now he is a he!

Last year he did this thing called transition. He took some medicine which made his voice deeper and he started wearing different clothes. When Benjamins uncle accidently misgenders his dad David, Benjamin explains why misgendering is hurtful and why we need to treat trans people with respect.

Benjamin speaks with confidence about transitioning and gender identity, and helps to educate and empower others with trans relatives or friends. This brightly illustrated book for children aged 3 – 7 will aid discussion with children about a loved one transitioning or about trans people in general.

Featuring a child with a mom who has transitioned, this book passes on an important message about acceptance and respect, and covers pronouns, dysphoria, family diversity and misgendering.
