There's a book coming out in a few weeks which looks like it might be exactly what you have in mind - It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity. It's fairly unique in that it includes non-binary individuals; most of the children's books with trans characters are specifically MtF or FtM. The only other one I'm aware of is From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea, in which the main character is implied to be intersex and genderfluid, and uses they/them pronouns. (However, the metaphor of also being lots of different animals can be a bit confusing to young kids; I've found this to be true with some of the other more metaphorical stories out there as well, such as Red: A Crayon's Story, Not Quite Narwhal, and Neither, although those are all fantastic books!). There are also a couple other non-fiction books, Who Are You? The Kids Guide to Gender Identity and The Gender Wheel, which are probably a bit too complex (and preachy) for a 3-year-old but might at least give you some ideas. The authors of Gender Wheel also just released an alphabet book focused on different pronouns called They, She, He, easy as ABC which would definitely work for his age. As you pointed out though, it's much harder to find books about trans parents than trans kids; I don't think I can really help you there, as the few I'm aware of are self-published and not very well written or illustrated. The closest thing I can think of would be Introducing Teddy, in which the main character's teddy bear comes out as trans, but it's a binary transition, so may not be super helpful. There are lots of good picture books showing diverse family structures though, which you could definitely elaborate on. Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's definitely a major gap in the world of children's books that will hopefully be filled soon!!

>...mas isso é no exterior. Pensei que estava preocupado com esse incentivo no Brasil, por isso citei minhas escolas.

Brasil esta sempre atrasado em qualquer coisa :P

Jaja esta aqui sim. Se procurar bem, consegue achar. Menino de Vestido e o livro australiano "Introducing Teddy" recem foi traduzido aqui.

>O que torna alguém com transtorno de gênero passível de menos piedade que alguém com transtorno bipolar, ou depressivo?

Eh exatamente o meu ponto, soh que ao contrario. Quantas paradas/festivais existem para trazer consciência da doença e respeito as pessoas com depressao, sindrome de tourretes ou transtorno bipolar, etc? Aqui no Brasil teremos o primeiro festival para Trans contra o "cis", repara que nao eh para combater o preconceito, eh contra o "Cisgenero". Lah fora ja existem diversos...
