The purpose of this research was to analyze the gender bias in bilingual thematic children's picture storybooks. The present study used a qualitative design. The researcher analyzed gender from the pictures and text contained in these thematic storybooks. This research discovered bias in gender both in the picture and in texts of storybooks
