Expanding outward from previous scholarship on gender, queerness,
and heteronormativity in children's literature, this book offers
fresh insights into representations of sex and sexuality in texts
for young people. In this collection, new and established scholars
examine how fiction and non-fiction writing, picture books, film
and television and graphic novels position young people in relation
to ideologies around sexuality, sexual identity, and embodiment.
This book questions how such texts communicate a sense of what is
possible, impossible, taboo, or encouraged in terms of being sexual
and sexual being. Each chapter is motivated by a set of important
questions: How are representations of sex and sexuality depicted in
texts for young people? How do these representations affect and
shape the kinds of sexualities offered as models to young readers?
And to what extent is sexual diversity acknowledged and represented
across different narrative and aesthetic modes? This work brings
together a diverse range of conceptual and theoretical approaches
that are framed by the idea of sexual becoming: the manner in which
texts for young people invite their readers to assess and
potentially adopt ways of thinking and being in terms of sex and
sexuality.

Have you heard of the Great Southern Reef?Join Professor Seaweed
and her friends Frankie and Sam to learn more about one of
Australia's best kept secrets! The Great Southern Reef spans
thousands of kilometres along the coast from northern New South
Wales to Western Australia. It is home to giant kelp forests and
fascinating animals such as rock lobsters, sea snails and sponges.
Explore the sandy beaches with this inquisitive trio, and discover
marine curiosities that are washed up along the coast after a big
storm. You may be inspired to go beachcombing yourself, to learn
and care about the animals and seaweed that you find! Reading level
varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages
6-9.
