I really loved this exploration of gender and Jet’s story. I loved the imagery Backer uses throughout his illustrations. I’d definitely recommend this book!

Spotted this in my local library and picked it up immediately. I really enjoyed it. The art is so expressive and conveys the story really well. It made me think about how I was lucky I had the internet when I started to question my gender
