  5. 9 Children’s Books About Gender Equality

Every child deserves to grow up healthy, educated and safe – with an equal chance to reach their potential. That’s why Save the Children is committed to building a world where girls, boys, and youth of diverse gender identities are heard, valued, and have access to equal opportunities.

During PRIDE month and every month, we are proud to amplify the actions of children and inspire audiences to stand with and support them in calling for a fairer and more equal world in which the rights of LGBTQ+ children are respected and protected. 

We know that from an early age, children learn stereotypical notions of what it means to be a girl and what it means to be a boy. In efforts to break-down rigid, inequitable gender stereotypes and promote diverse and positive expressions of gender identity, we’re proud to share this list of books about gender equality for preschoolers and young children. Gender equality books like these can broaden children’s horizons and challenge common misperceptions about traditional gender roles. This list offers gender equality books about powerful girls and sensitive boys, and kids who dare to be different.
