Bling Blaine: Throw Glitter, Not Shade
by Rob Sanders
Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
LGBTQ: Gender nonconforming
Just like Marvin likes hoodies and Alberto likes high-tops, Blaine loves glitter and sparkles. Beyond his own accessorizing, Blaine loves giving sparkly gifts and spreading cheer with his sunny personality. But when the new kid pushes him and calls him names, Blaine takes it to heart. Feeling the drab atmosphere and seeing the sadness on Blaine’s face, his classmates decide to intervene and talk with the curious and confused newcomers.
Another quality perspective added to children’s literature about our diverse population, the crushing effect of bullying, and what allies can do to help their friends without demonizing the adversaries--instead, bringing them in. A good perspective for the younger crowd.
