If you want to talk to your child about gender, you’ll like some of the gender-positive children’s books on this list. They will help you to start having open honest conversations about what it means to be a boy, agirl, non-binary and/or transgender.

If you find gender a confusing topic to discuss, then you can relax. As these books break gender down into simple concepts that children can easily understand and parents find easy to explain.

Gender positive children’s books are a great way to make talking about gender, much easier. But if you get stuck, you’ll find some ideas about how to talk to your child about gender in this blog post of mine.

Find practical tools to educate kids about sex education in the Sex Ed Shop

You can find more books about different topics in the main list of Sex Education Books for Children.

You will find the children’s books about gender stereotypes in a different list. As well as books that are about being non-binary and transgender.

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 it with them, 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. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.

Children’s books about gender

You’ll find an age-specific list of children’s books about gender. All of the books on this topic are currently showing.

All of the ages are visible, regardless of whether they’re relevant (or not). If no books appear for your chosen age, then it means there aren’t any relevant books.

To find relevant books for your child’s age, click on their age, and the appropriate books will appear.
