A lot of parents ask me about sex education books that are inclusive, i.e. books that include diversity in regards to gender, sexual orientation, family structure, skin colour, body shapes & sizes, disability and more. They might be a parent of a gender diverse child or a parent who wants to teach their child in an inclusive way.

So, I have finally created a list of inclusive sex education books for you (puberty books are in their own list). And luckily, publishers have finally realised that there is money to be made in inclusive books, so I am now seeing more and more of them being published each year!

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

If you’re looking for a book on a different topic, look at my main list of sex education books for children. It includes over 40+ topics! You can also find a separate list of inclusive puberty books.

You’ll also find more information about sex education on 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.

Inclusive sex education books for children

You’ll find an age-specific list of inclusive sex education books for children. 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.

If no books appear, there aren’t any books for a child of that age.

These are some of the few inclusive sex education books written for children. As I find more, I will add them to this list. They are all really good books that you will find useful for starting sex education.

Oh, and please do let me know if you know of a book to be added to this list!

Happy reading!
