Abstract

Jen Breach and J. Anthony—known collectively as Jay Albee—are the LGBTQ+ couple behind the Riley Reynolds (2022) book series. Riley is one of the first non-binary characters for young readers (ages 8-12). A fourth grader who lives in a neighborhood in South Philly, Riley navigates their community as any fourth-grader would, with curiosity, adventure, and imagination.

Jay Albee’s four books, all published in 2022 by Stone Arch Books, include Riley Reynolds Slays the Play, Riley Reynolds Rocks the Park, Riley Reynolds Glitterfies the Gala, and Riley Reynolds Crushes Costume Day.
