In January, controversy rocked the quiet school district of Murray Utah as a student asked his teacher to read one of his books to the class. The book happened to be one of Kyle Luckoff's Max adventures featuring a child identifying as transgender. The move sparked a controversy that threatened to challenge an equity book program in Murray School District. Similar reactions have taken place elsewhere across the country, leaving Tracy and Jim to wonder, "What are the little things that educators ought to be doing to ensure that all voices are represented in the classroom?" A former school librarian, Kyle Luckoff shares his perspectives and stories with "Little Things First."
