If Queers Weren't Meant to Have Kids . . .
If queers weren't meant to have kids, why do lesbians nest after one week? Why are hot gays called daddy? Why are drag queens so maternal? This stunning, fully illustrated adult picture book is a celebration of the beauty of rainbow families.
If Queers Weren't Meant to Have Kids ... is both a satirical picture book for adults and a love letter to rainbow families. In this age of growing censorship and manufactured moral panics, this book cheekily pokes fun at the conservative cultural warriors by asking questions such as- if queers weren't meant to have kids, why do lesbians nest after one week? Why are hot gays called daddy? Why are drag queens so maternal?
Written by renowned Indigenous journalist Narelda Jacobs and her communications specialist wife Karina Natt, and illustrated by award-winning First Nations artist Molly Hunt, this beautiful picture book is a loud and proud celebration of chosen family, guncles, the gaybourhood and more. If Queers Weren't Meant to Have Kids ... is the perfect gift for everyone- those who see themselves and their values reflected in its pages; and, especially, those who don't!

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
