More about the book
Exploring the intricate relationship between innocence and heterosexuality, this analysis delves into classic children's literature, including works by Baum, Wilder, Rowling, Snicket, and Meyer. It highlights the paradox that while these narratives often promote normative heterosexuality, they simultaneously obscure discussions of sexuality, challenging the notion that children can remain innocent while engaging with these themes. The book critiques how children's literature shapes perceptions of identity and sexuality, revealing the complexities and tensions inherent in these beloved stories.
