I Have Gay Dragons!

A question came up about the presence of LGBTQIA+ dragons in my book, and the answer is yes! Within the pages of my stories, you'll encounter dragons who identify as gay and those who are part of loving polyamorous relationships. While the first installment may focus primarily on these aspects, rest assured that my upcoming books will introduce a diverse array of dragon characters, including lesbians, asexuals, bisexuals, and many more from the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. So, get ready for an abundance of LGBTQIA+ dragon representation in my tales!

We were introduced to Sisters of the Never Sea during the ABA's #Ci10. We were so excited to learn of this story of sisterhood and adventure written by a Native American (Muscogee Creek) author and centering a Native American main character. You can get a copy on our @shopify, @instagram, @facebook, @tiktok, @twitter, @librofm, and @pinterest stores. Link in bio: @sistahscifi | www.sistahscifi.com. Better yet, check it out from your local #library!!! Reposted from @cultivatediverselibraries ⭐️STEP ASIDE, Peter Pan!⭐️ ⭐️Lily and Wendy lead the way in this this new novel from Cynthia Leitich Smith (Muscogee Creek). ⭐️This is a MUST have for your library. An important story that offers readers fantasy and adventure, but also inclusivity, justice, sisterhood, and Indigenous voice and perspective. 🔴Activity Alert: Consider Reading and unpacking it alongside the original Peter Pan, as well as Disney’s screen version. Using both novels in tandem can help readers strengthen their ability to identify and understand the harms of stereotypes and false narratives, and provide them with the lexicon to explain this to others and strengthen their ability to critically examine texts. Be sure to read AICL review of this book. The audio book is read by Katie Anvil Rich (Chickasaw and Cherokee) and is wonderful. Also, be sure to frequent Heartdrum, an imprint of Harper Collins… “Heartdrum, a new imprint by Native American authors for kids 8+! Heartfelt, groundbreaking, and unexpected, these children’s books emphasize the present and future of Indian Country and the strength of young Indigenous heroes.” - Harper Collins/ Heartdrum 📘 : @cynthialeitichsmith 📚 @harperkids , 2021 Suggested Grades: 6 ⬆️ @americanbooksellers . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #librariansofinstagram #librarian #kidlit #booksforkids #schoolibrarian #cultivatediverselibraries #teachersofinstagram #readaloud #inclusivestories #middlegradebooks #nativeamericanchildrensbooks #muscogeecreeknation #peterpan #cynthialeitichsmith #harpercollinskids #heartdrumbooks #sistersoftheneversea #indigenouslit #weneeddiversebooks #nativelit #nativeamerican #SistahScifi (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgt3k_JLyr3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's a pretty awesome experience walking into a library with your child and seeing your book on a shelf! My son didn't really understand why I was so excited, because we have those books at home. 😂 . #authorlife #library #books #booksbooksbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookish #bookishlife #childrensbooks #childrensbookauthor #libraryplus #libraries #booksthatteach #inclusivestories #inclusivebooks #inclusivebooksforkids #inclusivechildrensbooks #adoptionbook #adoptionbooks #fostercarereadinglist #adoptionreadinglist #adoptionresources #kinshipcarereadinglist #adoption #fostercare #kinshipcare #specialguardian @northantslibraries https://www.instagram.com/p/ClloMbhM98B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Head over to @adoption.resources.uk for her new review of my latest book, 'Room in the Nest.' If you're not following her account already, I highly recommend it! Not just because she has said lovely things about my books 🤣 but also because I've found lots of her other recommendations helpful. 'Room in the Nest' is an inclusive story of fostering, reunification, kinship care & adoption, that can be used to explain the Family Court system, the role of social workers & different types of foster care. #fostering #fostercare #kinshipcare #adoption #socialworkers #socialwork #kinshipawarenessmonth #kinshipweek #specialguardianship #adoptionsupportuk #adoptionuk #fosterfamily #fostercarer #fosterparent #lgbtqparents #socialworktoolkit #lgbtfamily #lgbtadoption #singleadopter #soloadopter #adoptionawareness #adoptionmonth #adoptionawarenessmonth #kinfamily #kinshipfamily #grandparenting #storiesthatmatter #teachingresources #inclusivebooks #inclusivestories https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjEpNJM6WY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
