I try to make sure that the collection of picture books we have at home features a diverse set of characters. One thing I've really struggled with is finding books with queer characters where their queerness is not a problem. There a fair number of books where some is queer and the book explains that that's ok, but I want to show my kid that queer people are normal and can be the part of all kinds of stories. So I was super excited to find Harriet Gets Carried Away by Jessie Sima about a little girl who has an adventure and also has two dads who are just her dads. I bought it and read it to my kid today and its super cute! Anyways I thought I'd share in case anyone else out there is also looking for this type of picture book.
