We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book entitled:

Carrielynn D. Reinhard and Christopher J. Olson, published by Rowman & 
Littlefield.
About the Book
/Heroes, Heroines, and Everything in Between: Challenging Gender and 
Sexuality Stereotypes in Children's Entertainment Media/ examines how 
this media ecology now includes a presence for nonheteronormative 
genders and sexualities. It considers representations of such identities 
in various media products (e.g., comic books, television shows, animated 
films, films, children’s literature) meant for children (e.g., toddlers 
to teenagers). The contributors seek to identify and understand 
characterizations that go beyond these traditional understandings of 
gender and sexuality. By doing so, they explore these nontraditional 
representations and consider what they say about the current state of 
children’s entertainment media, popular culture, and global acceptance 
of these gender identities and sexualities.
