Peter Darling by Austin Chant - Dust Jacket art /portfolio project/

In the middle of the school day yesterday I received a text from a friend that I rarely talk to. She works at a high school in a very conservative state and she has recently discovered that a few of her students identify as trans. She was asking for recommendations for books she should buy for her classroom library to help her students feel represented. I quickly ran over to my LGBT Lending Library and grabbed a few titles.

This is no way represents all of the trans-centric stories on my shelf, but I thought it was be a good start.

While taking the picture I remembered that I had an extra copy of When the Moon Was Ours at my house…I also had a pile of books that I had reserved for filling free little libraries around my town. Sooooo! I made her a teacher care package! With a book for her trans students, five other books that will help all students feel represented, rainbow swag, and some teaching tolerance materials.

I wish there was a way all teachers could receive FREE books and resources for students who feel underrepresented. I am just happy I could help one.
