Rainbow Parenting:Your Guide to Raising Queer Kids and Their Allies

“So much is held in these three words: spread queer joy. They are the blanket that comforts, the shield that protects, the glitter that glimmers, and the balm that heals.”

In the face of so many injustices across society for LGBTQ people, it can be easy for parents of young children to feel helpless and hopeless. While they may not be able to address every problem across the country, there's a simple place to right at home.

Rainbow Parenting is an indispensable stepping stone for adults who want to raise and teach kids in a queer and gender-affirming way, but might not know how. Lindz Amer, the creator of Queer Kid Stuff, an award-winning LGBTQ educational webseries for children and families, is an expert guide, leading readers through practical applications, important LGBTQ history, key lessons in intersectionality, pronouns, social justice, and more. Divided by sections that address kids' individual ages—from infancy to kindergarten—this joyful and approachable book shares a bit of hope and starts with the understanding that anyone can spread queer joy.

By giving parents and their kids a vocabulary to express themselves, Rainbow Parenting ultimately aims to create more empathetic adults—and spreads a message of radical acceptance in a world where it's sometimes dangerous to just be yourself.
