Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) office revealed photos on Tuesday of two sexual picture books that were found in Florida schools.
The books It's Perfectly Normal and Let's Talk About It have been discovered in schools across several counties in Florida, DeSantis's deputy press secretary, Jeremy Redfern, told the Washington Examiner.
It's Perfectly Normal is a children's book about "changing Bodies, growing up, sex, and sexual health," which is intended for those ages 10 and up. Meanwhile, Let's Talk About It is a graphic novel that is branded as "the teen's guide to sex, relationships, and being a human."
"Found in a Florida school: 'It’s Perfectly Normal.' The cover says that this book is appropriate for 10-year-old children," Redfern tweeted on Tuesday.

According to the deputy press secretary, the book was found in Broward and Duval counties.
"Found in a Florida School: 'Let's Talk About It' From the book's own description: 'Covering relationships, friendships, gender, sexuality, anatomy, body image, safe sex, sexting, jealousy, rejection, sex education... the first in graphic novel form,'" DeSantis's press secretary, Bryan Griffin, wrote on Twitter.

According to DeSantis's office, Let's Talk About It was in Florida schools in Orange and Seminole counties.
DeSantis has been an outspoken advocate for parents and children and protecting them from inappropriate content. In March 2022, he signed the Parental Rights in Education Act into law. It prohibits classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten through third grade.
The bill was smeared by some media as the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

The Florida governor is heavily favored to enter the 2024 presidential race, in which he would compete against former President Donald Trump. DeSantis has beaten Trump in some prospective GOP nomination polls, but he is still bested by the former president in others.
A recent report indicated that he may be eyeing the summertime for an announcement of his 2024 bid.
