An Analysis of Messages about Bullying in Award-Winning LGBTQ Children’s Picture Books

Thu, December 4, 8:30 to 10:00am, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Sunset 5

Abstract

This study examines seven award-winning children’s books published between 2013 and 2022 about resisting bullying. Using narrative analysis, we highlight characteristics of these plots, including an absence of upstanders, unrealistic resolutions, and simplistic before-after turning points. We suggest approaches to selecting desirable books and discussion prompts to use with books on bullying.
