Award-winning author and educator Rob Sanders joins He’s Not Wrong for a powerful conversation about the impact of inclusive storytelling on young readers. As one of the pioneers of LGBTQIA+ nonfiction picture books, Rob has introduced children to heroes like Harvey Milk, Bayard Rustin, and Gilbert Baker and continues to break new ground with stories that teach empathy, courage, and pride. In this episode, Rob shares how books can help kids understand their history, embrace diversity, and see themselves reflected in the pages they read. We also dive into the importance of teachers as change-makers, the evolution of children’s literature, and the resources that every parent, teacher, and librarian should know about.
