Maria goes live every other week, taking turns between her author Facebook page and her private Empowering Kids with Character Facebook group. In honor of LGBTQ during the month of June, Maria gave us some books to read! She gave us the first set of books on June 6th and you can watch the video here. On June 20th, she followed up with the second set of book recommendations and you can watch that video here.
For the second set of books, Maria shared books that teach children how families can look different. Some children have stepparents, one mom, one dad, two dads, two moms, are being raised by extended family, etc. A great way to introduce children to how families can look different from their own is to read them picture books!
- Stella Brings the Family by Miriam B. Schiffer
- A Tale of Two Mommies by Vanita Oelschlager
- Heather Has Two Mommies by Leslea Newman
