The article examines the first children’s book by a Bulgarian author in which same-sex couples can be recognized. The book, published in 2020, is examined within the context of Bulgarian society, in which homophobic attitudes are still widespread, and within the sensationalist and manipula-tive media representation. It is positioned within the queer literature for children according to J. Miller’s typology of “old” and “new queer literature for children” and within research on educational uses of LGBT+ inclusive books for young readers.
