Welcome to the George Jay Library Learning Commons - Digital edition!
Happy Rainbow Week everyone!
Here is a beautiful book that introduces terms about gender identity through a lovely story about a group of friends.
If you are looking to read works by nonbinary or transgender authors, Novelist (a source for ebooks that is linked to in our district website) now offers those options in the advanced search section. It is still not inclusive of other gender identities, but we were so pleased to see this step away from a M/F binary option! See below for a quick tutorial showing you how to do that search.

Book suggestions
Book suggestions
There are some good suggestions here, but as with everyone, it really helps to be interested in what you're reading! I would recommend Googling selections to see if there's a preview of the book. Please note that I do not own these pages, and the content may change at any time. Please always be careful with sites by unknown authors.
This Canadian book series releases lovely leveled books in Inuktut, French, and English.
