Beautiful children’s book about a trans teddy takes world by storm
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/10/28/beautiful-childrens-book-about-a-trans-teddy-takes-world-by-storm/Jessica Walton was inspired to write ‘Introducing Teddy’ after her father, Tina, came out as trans about three-and-half years ago.
“When we were growing up Tina was so much fun, she was such an involved, happy, really down to earth dad,” she said.
The story explores the dynamics of friendship, as Tilly comes out to the people around her.
The Australian author said she wrote the book for her young son Errol, as she felt that there was a lack of representation of trans parents and characters in children’s literature.
