Pronoun book recommended for infants among free literature to be given to children by city of Las Vegas

The City of Las Vegas has partnered with JetBlue's "Soar with Reading" program to install vending machines in community centers across the city that provide free books to children. Some of the books in the program, however, appear to promote gender and racial ideologies.

The program, which was launched in 2011, has book-vending machines in Washington, D.C.; Detroit, Michigan; Fort Lauderdale, Florida, New York City, New York; San Francisco, California; and Newark, New Jersey.

JetBlue describes the program as an initiative that "captures kids’ imaginations through reading" and "provides brand new books to children with limited access to book ownership."

Upon review of the program's book list, some of the literature promotes controversial ideologies. For example, "The Pronoun Book" is recommended for ages 0-3. The book is described as "illustrations of a diverse cast of people and simple text that introduces their pronouns, perfect for readers both young and old."

An editorial review on Barnes & Noble's website also listed the book as enforcing "the message that gender identity and pronouns cannot be derived from appearance."

A book called "Black Boy Joy," recommended for ages 10-14, is written by 17 "acclaimed Black male and non-binary authors" and speaks about "the power of joy and the wonders of Black boyhood." A review from Publisher's Weekly on Amazon said the book discusses "subjects such as friendships, gender identity, and family" and is an "exuberant celebration of carefree Black experiences."
