Ren Cedar Fuller- Bigger: Essays

Join Pacific Northwest author and parent educator Ren Cedar Fuller for a conversation about raising children with a desire for connection with people who are different from them. We will look at children's books about friends and family members who are neurodivergent, LQBTQ+, have a disability, or are from another ethnic group. How can stories help our children engage others with openness?

Ren's father was neurodivergent, her child came out as transgender, a disability left her unable to cry, and Alzheimer's magically carried her mother back to a childhood in Ecuador. Large-hearted and humorous essays explore how loving people who are different from us can expand our world.

Ren Cedar Fuller is a parent facilitator with TransFamilies, a support group for families with gender diverse children. After years teaching public school, she founded a nonprofit preschool, and has taught parent education in the Seattle area for two decades. Her debut book, Bigger, won the Autumn House Press Nonfiction Prize. Ren loves to kayak (slowly) on the Salish Sea.
