Abstract
Books have an influential role in children’s understandings of identity and the (re)production of and resistance to social norms. With limited diversity in children’s literature about sport, two children’s books were created that had as their central plot a challenge to dominant gender norms in ice hockey and in figure skating. Nine parents with children 10 years old and younger read the books and then participated in semi-structured interviews. Informed by queer theory, a critical discursive analysis of the transcripts was conducted. While gender diversity and sport remained central considerations, parents also reflected on the role that books might play in educating children as well as adults. Three interrelated themes were created: open dialogue, modelling action, and empowering exploration. Findings suggest that children’s books can be leveraged as educational tools for both children and the adults in their lives, including but not limited to destabilizing dominant gender discourse in sport and the larger cultural context.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
