Chasten Buttigieg, raising his family with husband Pete, reflects on life's simple joys while promoting his illustrated children's book, 'Papa's Coming Home.' The book, releasing on May 20, aims to represent LGBTQ+ families in a relatable way for children. When his daughter viewed the illustrations, she recognized herself and her family, exemplifying the book's mission. Amid ongoing attempts to censor LGBTQ+ stories nationwide, this book serves as a reminder of the importance of visibility and acceptance for all family structures, especially in current political tensions surrounding LGBTQ+ narratives.
"When I first received early illustrations for 'Papa's Coming Home,' my daughter immediately recognized herself, reflecting the book's essence of representation for kids like Gus and Penelope."
"In today's political climate, a joyful story about two dads transcends its simplicity, standing against attempts to ban LGBTQ+ narratives from schools and libraries."
