“Books for younger children about gay relationships are rare. A recent book “Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin” has caused a big debate in England. “Is homosexuality such a tricky subject for parents that they must tactfully broach it through books? I doubt it. I remember my older son asking when he was eight or nine, unprompted by any book, whether love could exist between people of the same sex. And when I said it could, he was curious, unjudgmental. Unlike adults, children accept the world as they find it.”
