The First Kids' Show for Children in LGBTQ Families & Their Friends!
Dottie’s mission is to create children’s media that represents ALL types of families
Dottie’s Magic Pockets started a decade ago, with the mission to represent queer families in children’s media so our children – and their friends – had images they could relate to. First, we released a two-episode DVD, which went on to play in film festivals around the world and be embraced by thousands of kids. According to the Sacramento Examiner, “the only drawback in this groundbreaking video is that it’s not five hours long.” A few years later, we created a singalong adventure CD, The Super Secret Seashell Cave, with two dozen original songs that Cool Mom Picks called “cool kid entertainment … music and silliness for all kinds of kids, from all kinds of families.”
Though some progress has been made in children’s media since then, we are nowhere near where we should be! The number of gay families continues to rise, and since we are still overlooked by much of the mainstream media, we decided to create this singalong book: Who’s in Your Family? With beautiful illustrations, this book shows ALL kinds of families.
