Since everyone I know and their boyfriend are having babies, I thought you might want to know about this, a children's book that features a homosexual male character in a positive light :
Bestselling multimedia children’s author Daniel Errico releases his newest story, "The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived," following a strong-minded boy who grows up to be a heroic knight.Indeed. Now if only he had a fairy godmother who could get a pre-order link up on Amazon.com -- he might be able to move some books!
Cedric, the bravest knight, is one of the first children's book characters to not just be part of an LGBT family, but to be a homosexual protagonist himself. It’s after he saves the day and defeats a pumpkin-eating dragon that his love for a prince, and not a princess, is revealed.
“When it comes to young children and what we expose them to there is a clearly skewed ratio between heterosexual and homosexual relationships to a misleading degree. It's the job of any children's author to introduce the world to their young readers in a safe, fun, and nurturing way, and in this case, normalize what is an important part of many people's lives.” Daniel said. “I wanted to take a classic fairytale structure and just substitute one ending for the possibility of another. Cedric is a regular hero, who has his own idea of what his happy ending should be."
