"Papa's Coming Home celebrates an ordinary moment with heart, pushing back against the political climate that challenges LGBTQ+ stories in schools and libraries."
"Buttigieg's book arrives at a time of heavy scrutiny, with significant book bans targeting LGBTQ+ representation and inclusive education, emphasizing the importance of diverse stories."
Chasten Buttigieg's new picture book, 'Papa's Coming Home', has debuted as a top-selling children’s book, marking a significant milestone for LGBTQ+ representation in literature. The story, which features siblings Rosie and Jojo preparing a surprise for their Papa, showcases a warm, ordinary family moment rather than trauma or difference. Published during a time when nearly 39% of banned books in U.S. schools relate to LGBTQ+ stories, Buttigieg's work emphasizes the need for visibility and inclusivity amidst rising censorship and political challenges.
