It's like the Bare Naked Book but with different illustrations and more scientific/advanced terms for body parts. I recommend it to people over 5 years old just because the language is scientific.

A very simple explanation of sex and shows representations of different types of families, cultures, and disabilities. I would recommend this book to help with sex education for older children.

A beautiful story of a little girl who appreciates what makes her different. Asian American representation!

A book about Hawaiian culture (Fun Tip: When you travel, get a book!)

This is a book about a boy bunny who falls in love with another boy bunny. I love this book, but it takes a stab at Mike Pence, and no matter where I fall politically, I don't care for unnecessary jabs at people.

Classic fables with more female representation!

A book about boy ballet dancers. Beautiful!

It is a cute story about ninjas all accepting their diverse community and choosing to be inclusive.

ClaraBelle is a story about a girl as the main character. Although the book mentions "special needs," it describes everything that ClaraBelle is capable of doing.

This book gives examples A-Z of well-known people who have dyslexia.

It is a beautiful book describing being neurodivergent in such a beautiful way.

It is a cute book about a child fascinated with boxes and his imagination throughout the school day.

This is a story about a dog's perspective of the day. The dog's owner uses a wheelchair, but the story has nothing to do with that. I love it!

The child in this story is on the spectrum AND identifies as transgender. The family works together to find ways to help support her, and it is a remarkable story. But long!

This book gives examples A-Z of well-known people who are Autistic.

A favorite in our house. Not a lot of words, but simple. How do you know what someone wants to be called? You ask.

It is a story about two dogs with disabilities and how they became friends and learned to play with the dogs at the park.

This book's main character is a girl, which feels rare in the disability realm of books. But this girl is a badass and is fighting for disability rights in America!

A dog that uses wheels for his hind legs is looking for a home.

What I love most about this book (other than that it rhymes) is that the main character is a child with a limb difference, but the story has NOTHING to do with his disability.

This book has many examples of varying disabilities and how proper modifications can include them with their peers.

Learning about social norms of why we don't stare and accommodations for when we need to.
