King & King

King & King

King & King is a young children's book by Linda De Haan and Stern Nijland. It was originally written in Dutch ("Koning en Koning"), but later translated into English. In the United States, it was published by Berkeley, California-based Tricycle Press (the children's imprint of Ten Speed Press) in 2002; as of 2009, 20,000 copies have been sold in the United States. It has been published in at least eight languages and a theater stage version has been performed from Vienna to Mexico City. At Tricycle Press' request a sequel, King & King & Family, about the kings adopting a child, appeared in 2004.

The book has gained some prominence due to opposition from social conservatives who believe that children should not see LGBT themes presented positively; this opposition has also boosted sales from supporters of LGBT rights.
