A princess of great daring!

Flamingo Rampant, 2015.
Summary: "Jamie hasn’t seen her friends all summer, and is now living her affirmed gender as a girl. She meets up with her three (cisgender male) friends, and is happy that they are accepting of her gender. The four friends have imaginative adventures together about princes and a princess. Jamie asks her friends to support her when she has to tell everyone at school the following week, to which they all agree. Most of this story focuses on the imaginative adventures the four friends have together, and is a story of acceptance from peers, Jamie’s gender is a non-issue. Jamie is described as ‘a girl now’ by one of her mums, and at the end of the book describes herself as ‘really a girl’, framing gender as a binary. Jamie’s two mums are shown dropping her off at the start of the book, which is a rare disruption to the dominance of heterosexual families."

Is that a boy or a girl?
by S. Bear Bergman
illus. by Rachel Dougherty
Language: English
Flamingo Rampant, 2015.
Summary: "Tells the story of multiple different unnamed characters who are gender diverse, critiquing norms about gender in the process. This book explicitly discusses and critiques social norms about gender. It also includes other forms of diversity in terms of skin colour and one child using a wheelchair. However, there are many characters which may be confusing for children and there is some gender-typing in its reversals (e.g. although a character who is presumably a boy likes reading he says it’s not ‘boyish’). The book is long and uses rhyming."

Summary: "Tiny has moved to a new town and is about to start at a new school. Tiny tells the reader about liking lots of different toys, activities, and clothes which are not limited by gender stereotypes. When Tiny goes to school, a boy called Buster picks on Tiny several times about Tiny’s name and whether Tiny is a girl or a boy, and is reprimanded by the teacher. Tiny is asked several times throughout the book ‘are a boy or a girl?’, but doesn’t answer until the last page when Tiny says ‘I am me!’. This story shows a child who is interested in a variety of pursuits and is not restricted by gender expectations. However, most of the supporting characters are shown in gender-stereotyped activities and clothing."

Summary: When Sally and her moms go to visit the zoo, they think the new ape exhibit will be the funniest part of their day…but they are in for a big surprise! Join Sally and her moms as they explore the zoo and learn about the long “A” sound. Phonics For Us! is a series of children's phonics books written for alternative families. At We Live Here Too Publishing, we believe that children not only need to see their families represented in the books they read, but also to see them represented within the context of everyday childhood actions and behaviors. Our books are about going to the store, or having a birthday, or getting a new pet...and alternative families simply pop up within the context of that larger story. Learning to read is one of the most important things our children will ever do. We believe strongly that those early experiences shape future reading behavior. It is absolutely critical, then, that those early experiences be positive. Seeing families like their own reflected in their phonics primers is one way to help create that experience!

Jill ist anders: Ein Kinderbuch zur Intersexualität
by Ursula Rosen
illus. by Alina Isensee
Language: German
Salmo Verlag, 2015.
44 p. : col. ill. ; 21 x 21 cm.
ISBN: 9783981220681
Summary: Mit diesem Bilderbuch kann man bereits Kindern in Kindergarten- und Grundschulalter altersgerecht erklären, dass es mehr als zwei Geschlechter gibt und dass es kein Problem ist, wenn sich ein Kind nicht dem typischen Geschlechterschema zuordnen lässt. Die Idee zu dem Kinderbuch "Jill ist anders" entstand in einer Vollmondnacht - in solchen Nächten kann ich nicht schlafen. Am Vormittag hatte ich zu meinem Erstaunen festgestellt, dass Jill, das Kind einer Kollegin, kein Junge war - wie ich es angenommen hatte, sondern ein Mädchen. Da ich mich bereits seit vielen Jahren für Aufklärung über Intersexualität einsetze und immer wieder erstaunt bin, wie selten ich auf Menschen treffe, die darüber Bescheid wissen, kam mir plötzlich die Idee, ein Buch für das Kindergarten- und Grundschulalter zu schreiben. Es gibt inzwischen einiges an Literatur zum Thema Intersexualität, aber diese Bücher sind meist für Erwachsene geschrieben. Das Kinderbuch "Lila" des Selbsthilfe-Vereins Intersexuelle Menschen e.V. ist ein Aufklärungsbuch und richtet sich vorwiegend an intersexuelle Kinder. Mein Buch soll den Fokus eigentlich gar nicht auf die Intersexualität des Kindes Jill richten, sondern auf die Tatsache, dass Kinder verschieden sind und dass es gerade die Vielfalt ist, die unser Leben bereichert. In meiner Tätigkeit als Lehrerin erlebe ich es oft, dass Kinder sehr offen sind und mit der Tatsache, dass es Menschen gibt, die nicht eindeutig dem einen oder dem anderen Geschlecht zuzuordnen sind, überhaupt keine Probleme haben. Im Gegenteil. Meist sind sie erstaunt und wollen mehr darüber wissen. So wie es heute schon Konsens ist, dass kein Kind wegen seiner Hautfarbe, seiner Größe oder seiner Sprache ausgegrenzt werden darf, sollte dies in möglichst naher Zukunft auch für Kinder gelten, die nicht in das Schema der zwei Geschlechter passen. Intersexuelle Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene leben schon immer mitten in unserer Gesellschaft, aber erst seit einigen Jahren bröckelt das "Schweigegebot", unter das sie von Anfang an gestellt wurden. Dieses Buch soll dazu beitragen, dass in naher Zukunft die Mutter eines Kindergartenkindes auf die Frage, ob das Kind denn nun Mädchen oder Junge sei, wie Jills Mutter antworten kann: "Das wissen wir noch nicht. Vielleicht ist es ja beides oder keins von beidem". Dieser Traum kann sich vielleicht schon bald erfüllen. Noch schöner wäre es, wenn wir es schaffen könnten, bei Kindern das Geschlecht und deren Unterschiede nicht mehr so stark in den Vordergrund zu rücken.
