Mr Pam Pam and his baby are regular visitors to the house of the boy who narrates this story. Mr Pam Pam is very tall with stringy arms and legs and he says his favourite food is banana ice-cream with gravy. But then Mr Pam Pam says lots of things that you cannot be sure are true. He says, for instance, that he's seen a Hullabazoo with yellow hands and a green moustache, a bouncing, twizzling Hullabazoo. But whenever the boy looks where Mr Pam Pam tells him to, the Hullabazoo has always gone. But one day there is the Hullabazoo, just as Mr Pam Pam described him, wearing purple socks and a flat orange cap with a star on the top, and the small boy is truly amazed.

In The Transformative Potential of LGBTQ+ Children’s Picture Books, Jennifer Miller identifies an archive of over 150 English-language children’s picture books that explicitly represent LGBTQ+ identities, expressions, and issues. This archive is then analyzed to explore the evolution of LGBTQ+ characters and content from the 1970s to the present. Miller describes dominant tropes that emerge in the field to analyze historical shifts in representational practices, which she suggests parallel larger sociocultural shifts in the visibility of LGBTQ+ identities. Additionally, Miller considers material constraints and possibilities affecting the production, distribution, and consumption of LGBTQ+ children’s picture books from the 1970s to the present. This foundational work defines the field of LGBTQ+ children’s picture books thoroughly, yet accessibly. In addition to laying the groundwork for further research, The Transformative Potential of LGBTQ+ Children’s Picture Books presents a reading lens, critical optimism, used to analyze the transformative potential of LGBTQ+ children’s picture books. Many texts remain attached to heteronormative family forms and raced and classed models of success. However, by considering what these books put into the world, as well as problematic aspects of the world reproduced within them, Miller argues that LGBTQ+ children’s picture books are an essential world-making project and seek to usher in a transformed world as well as a significant historical archive that reflects material and representational shifts in dominant and subcultural understandings of gender and sexuality.
