Every child deserves to see themselves in a story. 💛 Stories save lives—start with these. This list was created in support of the Trans Rights Readathon—an annual call to action for readers and book lovers leading up to Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31st. 💙💖🤍 From March 17–31, 2026, we’re reading with intention—centering stories that affirm identity, celebrate diversity, and help kids build empathy, understanding, and pride in who they are. This collection features children’s books that highlight trans and gender-expansive characters, themes of identity and self-expression, and the beauty of being seen and loved as you are. Whether you’re building an inclusive home library, starting important conversations, or participating in the readathon yourself—these stories are a powerful place to begin. 🌈 Learn more and join the readathon here: transrightsreadathon.carrd.co
