emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

You don't have to live your adult life with a pebble in your shoe and it will always be worth the effort and trouble to be comfortable in your own shoes.

The art in this book was really nice. The memoir was engaging, and I really relate to some of Maia's gender feelings.

Whenever I hear of a widespread "banned book," I always know those banning it are doing it out of fear. And so often when the ignorant fear something, you know it is worth your time. Because what they are afraid of most... Is growth. 

This memoir is 100% worth your time. 

Maia Kobabe's coming of age journey, beautifully illustrated in this graphic memoir, is full of discovery, acceptance, and love. E is a nonbinary human, figuring eirself out through a world where the very vocabulary for eir identity is still being forged in real time. This book includes a brave vulnerability for which Maia should be proud. If you have or love children, this is an incredibly valuable discussion about growing up. 

I was actually surprised with how light it was... How hopeful and humorous each topic was touched upon. Of course the people that want to ban this book perpetuate narratives and hide behind grossly misconstrued lines. Because the real reason they want to ban books is to stifle growth. They are so afraid of that. And in comparison to Maia's bravery, they are so damned small.
