Ask LGBTQ+ Hero, Kyle Lukoff, Your Questions!
Ask Kyle your question(s) here by May 27th!
(Deadline extended to 5/27 per the request of librarians/teachers who wanted to participate!)
“... Aidan's trans identity isn't the point of the story, but the text also wouldn't work if he were cis. And those are my favorite kinds of trans books, ones in which the character's identity is intertwined with and inextricable from the narrative, but also not the main purpose of the story. That's how I experience my life; my trans history is deeply woven into my life but is also just one part of my day-to-day reality, and that was the kind of experience I wanted to show.”
We're thrilled to present this special Q&A opportunity with Kyle Lukoff!
Here's how it works:
- You submit questions here.
- We send your questions to Kyle.
- Kyle creates a fabulous video.

- He's an AMAZING author -- you can learn why and how he writes books! (And he may have some tips for you if you want to make books!)
- You really want to know one of Kyle's favorites (animals? kids' books? colors?), and now you can ask him! (And who is that sweet cat in Kyle's picture?).
- You want to help! You want MORE books with LGBTQ+ and transgender characters! You can ask why there are so few of these books and how you can help!
- Kyle's stories celebrate LGBTQ+, and especially trans, kids! Do you have story ideas for Kyle or that you want to create?
