• Bittner, Robert. "Beyond Mere Representation in the Classroom: Finding and Teaching Literature by and about LGBTQ Authors." Journal of Children's Literature, vol. 46, no. 2, 2020, pp. 36-47. Literature Online, ProQuest Central, Research Library
  • In this source 10,000 Dresses is discussed in the context of a conversation about how a significant portion of the LGBTQ+ literature is about “boys in dresses”. This is an interesting critique of the current state of LGBTQ+ literature and can be used in a genre section as well as the reception section.
• Burke, Jennifer. He, She, and Me: How Elementary Children Construct Gender and Race in the Context of an Anti-Bias Curriculum, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick, United States -- New Jersey, 2017. ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global
  • This source talks about LGBTQ literature in the context of discussions and teachings with younger children. An example was the confusion amongst her students that gender could be identified by hair length. This information can be used in a genre section or maybe even a separate subsection of its application to teaching young children about the LGBTQ+ community.
• Crawley, Stephen A. "Be Who You are: Exploring Representations of Transgender Children in Picturebooks." Journal of Children's Literature, vol. 43, no. 2, 2017, pp. 28-41. Literature Online, ProQuest Central, Research Library
  • One interesting are this source covers is the very common lack of diversity in children's LGBTQ+ books. This is something that is popping up a lot throughout my research so I will definitely need to address the criticism of this genre of literature that most often the families are white and middle class.
• "FREE PeopLe REad FreeLy: 16th Annual REPORT in CELEBRATION of NATIONAL BANNED BOOKS WEEK." Texas Library Journal, vol. 88, no. 3, 2012, pp. 108-114. ProQuest Central
  • This text discusses 10,000 Dresses in the context of banned children's books. It mentions how this book was banned for its “politically, racially, or socially offensive” content. This source will work perfectly in my reception section to mention certain places its been banned.
• Hill, Joshua. Are You a Boy Or a Girl? Representations of Transgender Children in Picture Books. Edited by Julia Lopez-Robertson, and Cathy A. R. Brant., University of South Carolina, United States -- South Carolina, 2020. ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global
  • This source often talks about how 10,000 Dresses is considered to the first picture book with a transgender protaganist. This source will be helpful in a genre section as well as a reception section to discuss how this book is unique in this way and how this might affect people’s view of it.
• Nair, Yasmin. "10,000 Dresses/if You Believe in Mermaids, Don'T Tell." Windy City Times, 2009, pp. 21. GenderWatch
  • This source also discusses 10,000 Dresses as filling the content gap of children's literature on specifically the transgender community. It mentions that its purpose is to be read aloud to children and it displays a fantasy where “dreams do come true” so this is also a good source to add into a subsection about its purpose in the classroom for younger children.
• Orr, Keith. "'Gay-Owned, Gay-Operated'." Between the Lines, 2009, pp. 12. GenderWatch
  • This source discusses the role of LGBTQ+ bookstores to defend works that have been banned by powerful entities. Information from this source can certainly contribute to my discussion of it being banned in the reception section and how people look to avoid/go around this.
• Rudolph, Dana. "'10,000 Dresses' Celebrates Transgender Children's Lives." Between the Lines, 2009, pp. 14. GenderWatch
  • This source is a comprehensive analysis of 10,000 Dresses and how it explores the balance between showing how parents would typically react to a child coming out as transgender and frightening a kid who might want to come out. This source would be helpful to my section about its application to a classroom and how adults need to best present it to the intended audience.
• "'Jacob's New Dress' Adds to Growing Genre." Windy City Times, 2014, pp. 12. GenderWatch
  • This source also speaks to the negativity of the parents reaction to Bailey wanting to wear dresses. This is an interesting conversation that should be explored in both the reception section as well as the section that discusses its uses and application to younger children.
• Walsh, Liz. "Gender Transition Reading 'Required'." The Advertiser, 2015, pp. 11. ProQuest Central
  • This source discusses research about whether or not stories like 10,000 Dresses ought to be taught to younger children. This would be a helpful source in the discussion of the reception section arguing for its use, as well as its use for the classroom section as well since it speaks directly to that.
