Featured Books
We have three selections of books we are featuring for Transgender Awareness Week in November.
Literature and memoirs
This selection features the magical realism of Kai Cheng Thom, a collaborative book from Ivan Coyote and Rae Spoon exploring their failed attempts at fitting into the gender binary, a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams by Oji-Cree, Two-Spirit storyteller and academic Joshua Whitehead, and more.
Resources, guides, and first-hand experiences
This selection features books to support anyone who is trans or gender non-conforming. Read about the experiences of others in Growing up Trans, support your own mental health and well-being with The Trans Self-Care Workbook, Trans Teen Survival Guide, and The Trans Guide to Mental Health and Well-Being.
Books for parents and caregivers supporting trans and gender non-conforming youth
This selection features books to help parents and caregivers support the youth in their lives. There is a children’s book to help young kids understand what gender identity is, workbooks for youth to explore their own gender identity, and resource books for parents and families to better understand their kids and what they need.
