Are you looking for some fantastic children’s books to help your child understand and embrace the concept of being non-binary? Well, you’ve come to the right place! In this blogpost you’ll find some of the wonderful books that celebrate gender diversity and provide a gentle introduction to the idea of being non-binary.
Navigating conversations about gender identity with children can feel overwhelming at times. However, it’s crucial to create an inclusive environment where all identities are respected and celebrated. That’s why these books are so important – they beautifully capture the essence of being non-binary in a way that is accessible and engaging for young readers.
Whether you’re a parent, guardian, or educator, these books will serve as valuable resources to foster open-mindedness, empathy, and understanding in your children. So let’s dive right in and explore some delightful stories that will help nurture a sense of acceptance and inclusivity within your family!
And if you are after other books about gender then you will want to have a look at these children’s books about being transgender, or these children’s books for LGBT questioning kids.
You can find more books about different topics in the main list of Sex Education Books for Children. And if you find this list a little overwhelming, you might want to look at the age-appropriate list of sex education books.
You’ll find more information about sex education in my Sex Education 101 page.
NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading the book with your child, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. You need to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
