Abstract
The Big Kids Book Club brings together our perspectives and experiences as Black women and gender nonconforming people engaged in youth work, advocacy, and research; Black feminist cultural production; and Black queer parenting. In this article we center Black queer (and) feminist approaches with interest in how Black queer children’s narratives take us beyond representation and into realms of resignifying and worldmaking. Our roundtable discussions explore what it means to encounter children’s books written with Black queer life in mind and demonstrate a relational reading practice that reads and gathers in Black queer spaces while expanding possibilities for Black life.
Keywords:
