We are pretty gender diverse family and have a few good books on gender. As if gender is left lol.
These are all for under age 5-6 i'd say.
"Julian is a mermaid" by Jessica Love is a gorgeously illustrated book about a young black child who is AMAB but loves femme presentation and wants to be a mermaid.
"My shadow is pink" by Scott Stuart is another good one about a AMAB parent and son. Again, the father is very masc in his shadow being blue but his son's is pink.The father comes to understand the differences but not just accept, he embraces and adores his son once he accepts the differences. I honestly can't read it without crying.
"Love Makes a Family" by Sophie Beer is a pretty simple but cute book which shows many different images of diverse families.
