| Abstract | Historically, early lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-inclusive (LGBTQ+) picturebooks deployed representations of (in)human characters (i.e., birds, bunnies, shapeshifters, and more) to open readers to queer subjects (Young, 2019). While useful for expanding conceptions of queer life, such a move has had unintended consequences. The (in)human--here in parentheticals to highlight the violence that minoritized subjects traverse in their vacillation of human/nonhuman status--has furthered certain undesirable outcomes for queer representation in critical multicultural children's literature. This article describes a research project where the authors read across a corpus of 18 picturebooks to spotlight the speculative promise and potential of the fantastic queer (in)human. More specifically, they ask: (1) How is the queer (in)human represented in contemporary LGBTQ+ picturebooks? and (2) What, if anything, does a reparative reading reveal about the speculative potential of the queer (in)human?
