Children's Week Family Day

Friday, 19th October, 10am - 3pm


As part of the Children’s Week Family Day, we presented an age appropriate Rainbow Little Library filled with rainbow children's books.


Publisher Harper Collins says "There are many benefits of LGBTQ+ books for kids of all ages and backgrounds. For LGBTQ+ kids, seeing that people like them exist in the fictional world can help children feel more accepted in the real world... For non LGBTQ+ kids, it provides a window into these experiences, often teaching empathy and understanding. It helps to read about topics you're not familiar with to understand better where another person or perspective comes from in any situation." They have a great article about the importance of LGBTIQA+ books for children, including dispelling myths about LGBTIQA+ books for kids which you can read here: https://www.harpercollins.com/blogs/harperkids/lgbtq-books
