My Project Topic

Yes, realizing that its a week before the final project is due, I finally was struck with a topic that I think would be interesting for me. After our professor showed us some GLBTQ picture books, specifically one about penguins and another about two kings, I would like to do some more research on GLBTQ childrens books. What I'm hoping to discover is how GLBTQ is represented without the use of animals or fairy tale characters. How are humans represented in the picture books? Is there a large selection to chose from? Are there stereotypes running rampant through them, or are these books careful to address and dispell stereotypes? Those are a few of the questions I'd like to focus on during my search for books and book reviews.
