Summary: Up to 10% of people identify that they are attracted to people of the same sex. These feelings of attraction are often first experienced in childhood and early adolescence. Wrapped In a Blanket of Blue offers a tender and sensitive portrayal of the questions and uncertainty children can go through as they are exploring their understanding of their own sexual orientation. This story underscores the importance of being honest and true to one’s own feelings and the value of affirmations by others. This story also provides an excellent starting point for conversations between children and their parents about their own emerging feelings and/or their understanding of others with those feelings.
