Abstract:
The ongoing struggle of inclusivity of LGBTQ+ topics in children’s literature and curricula is seen globally. Polish children’s and YA literature is no exception, as seen in this article that explores the evolution of publishing trends in Poland of LBGTQ+-focused literature. An exploration of recent books across genres, age levels, and created by Polish authors and illustrators as well as translated into Polish, points to a more inclusive market.
