Description
If Queers Weren't Meant to Have Kids ... is a stunning, fully illustrated adult picture book that celebrates the beauty of rainbow families.
Why do lesbians nest after one week? Why are hot gays called daddy? Why are drag queens so maternal? These playful questions reflect the book's cheeky and satirical take on cultural norms.
In an age of growing censorship and manufactured moral panics, this book humorously pokes fun at conservative cultural warriors, serving as both a satirical picture book for adults and a heartfelt love letter to rainbow families.
Written by renowned Indigenous journalist Narelda Jacobs and her communications specialist wife Karina Natt, and illustrated by award-winning First Nations artist Molly Hunt, this beautiful picture book is a loud and proud celebration of chosen family, guncles, the gaybourhood, and more.
If Queers Weren't Meant to Have Kids ... makes the perfect gift for everyone: those who see themselves and their values reflected in its pages, and especially those who don't!
