Empowering and Protecting Trans Kids: A Book of Encouragement for Children, Parents, and Educators!
Florian is trans. Since he can remember, he has known that he is a boy in his heart and mind. When he finally finds the courage to tell his parents and grandparents, they respond with understanding and support. Suddenly, everything changes, and Florian's self-confidence blossoms: He now wears the same swim trunks as his brother and can finally be seen as who he is. Will the children and teachers at school also behave with understanding and welcome him?
The author duo JR and Vanessa Ford share the experiences of their trans child in "Florian" and thereby encourage families, friends, and educators to support trans individuals on their journey to their own identity.
- Thematizes trans being
- Inspiration for parents, families, and educators of trans children
- With versatile and colorful illustrations from children's everyday life drawn by Kayla Harren
“We love you, whether you are a girl, a boy, none of those, or both”, is the loving response from Florian's parents to his coming out. This alleviates fears and inspires. Thanks to family support, Florian is also addressed by his new name at school and in everyday life, and is quickly accepted as who he is.
This children's book is an example of how brightly trans children can shine when given the opportunity.We just need to support them!

Sweet as sugar, one of the most beautiful children's books in the world. A small Berlin publisher with sweet books and illustrations. We appreciate the themes of the books as well as the inclusive and empowering approach.
About the publisher
We got to know and love each other in 2012 when Anna was on a language trip in Berlin. Initially, Anna lived in Warsaw, where she studied linguistics, and Lukas was in Berlin, where he started his first company.After a few years of long-distance relationship, connected by the Berlin-Warsaw express train, Anna moved to Berlin, and in 2016 we got married on a beach in the Seychelles. What has connected us from the very beginning: We love books and are proud of our large bookshelf.
In 2018, our happiness was complete: Our twins Zoë and Vincent were born. Now we buy children's books in the three languages our children are growing up with: German, English, and Polish. In doing so, we realized that many beautiful children's books are available in one language but not in the other. Therefore, we, a translator and an entrepreneur, decided to simply publish these books ourselves!
And so we founded the Zuckersüß Verlag. Since 2019, we have been searching for, finding, and translating the most beautiful children's books in the world and bringing them to Germany. For ourselves and our children and all young families who enjoy reading together.
