Our Children Are Your Students:  LGBTQ Families Speak Out  (2021)
Featuring the verbatim play Out at School
Tara Goldstein with contributions by *Pam Baer, *benjamin lee hicks, *Yasmin Owis, *Kate Reid, and  *Jenny Salisbury

Our Children Are Your Students is part teaching, part research, part art, and 100% devoted to improving the quality of the lives of LGBTQ students and their families. Goldstein (and her fellow authors) have an ear for beautiful words, creating theatre from family testimonies of struggle and joy within our education system.  If teachers, professors, and community professionals are serious about following human rights laws for the inclusion of LGBTQ families, they should open up this book. If LGBTQ families want to feel less alone, they can find their loving stories within the pages.

Our Children Are Your Students points to the everyday challenges and celebrations of LGBTQ families and children as they navigate their way through the Canadian education system. Incorporating the voices of LGBTQ families who are so often silenced by schools, Tara Goldstein and the LGBTQ Families research team have done a truly wonderful job in bringing their experiences to light. An inspiring, honest, hopeful, sensitive, thought-provoking and beautifully presented book.  All teachers, pre-service teachers and teacher educators must read this. In all honesty, I could hardly put it down.
– Tania Ferfolja, Associate Professor, School of Education, Centre for Educational Research, Western Sydney University, Australia
