Welcome to Litsy!

A beautiful dive into grandpa-grandkid relationships, grief, joy, and shared memories with queer families represented. This little girl happily listening to stories about her grandpa and grandad traveling around in their camper is so sweet, and the ending is a delight. Did I mention the absolutely beautiful illustrations? #LGBTQIA #Camping #Travel #Picturebook #Family

A heartwarming children‘s picture book about how a girl helps her grandad deal with his grief over the loss of his husband. Stonewall Honor Award and Waterstone‘s Illustrated Children‘s Book of the Year. #LGBTQ #kidlit

Author Harry Woodgate said they were inspired to create this story after researching the portrayal of LGBTQ characters in children‘s picture books and found few of them were older people.

This story actually begins on the endpapers, making the most out of the picture book format. 👍

I talk about 5 picture books in my latest video: LGBTQ; retellings; folklore; Inuit; and award-winning selections.

This was a very cute picture book about a grandfather sharing stories of his youth with his grandchild. The grandfather is gay and flashbacks of the book show him and his husband traveling around in their camper. This book would be great for both Grandparent's Day displays and Pride displays. You could even place it on Father's Day display if your book choices include books about both dads and grandads.
