Summary: Thousands of years ago, there were two Gems called Ruby and Sapphire who lived on the faraway Gem Homeworld planet. Even though one Gem could see into the future, neither could predict that their paths would come together in such an incredible way! This is the story of Garnet, the leader of the Crystal Gems, and how she came to live on planet Earth. Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe, tells this love story with plenty of warmth and humor.

Summary: Dudu, um garoto de seis anos, adorava brincar de ser. De ser fada, princesa e principalmente bruxa. Seus pais ficam preocupados com a situação. Querem descobrir se há como alterar o comportamento do filho, que consideram anormal. Mas o menino conta com o afeto de sua avó. Isso o ajuda a não se intimidar perante os obstáculos. Quer continuar a ter o direito de brincar de ser e de sonhar. Esse livro permite a discussão de temas delicados, como o preconceito e a intolerância, e retrata as conseqüências que a falta de diálogo pode causar à vida familiar. Dud gostava de brincar de ser, uma brincadeira muito legal e divertida. Só que seus pais não estavam muito felizes com isso. Ao ler olivro você vai entender o porquê. E vai também poder refletir sobre questões como preconceito, intolerância e falta de diálogo. Você já ouviu falar nessas questõs?

A princess of great daring!
A princess of great daring!
by Tobi Hill-Meyer
illus. by E. Toczynski
Language: English
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."

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."

Are you a boy or are you a girl?
by Sarah Savage
illus. by Fox Fisher
Language: English
TQUAL Books, 2015.
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."
