Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Homebody is an inspiring, comforting, and moving debut graphic novel detailing the author's gender journey and how they were able to find validation and assurance in their identity. Graphic novel memoirs always seem to hit so hard, as the author's illustrations and style bring an additional aspect of vulnerability and beauty to their experiences, as well as using art as a way to connect with the reader.
I enjoyed Parish's wholesome and heartwarming style, especially as shown in the full page illustrations that provides positive affirmations. They did a wonderful job in presenting their journey in an accessible and relatable way, even when all explorations of genders are unique in their own ways. In this book, Parish achieves the honor of making self love feel achievable, which is needed for each and every queer youth.
I would definitely recommend this book to queer youth looking to find memoirs that may help guide them on their own gender journeys or provide validating perspectives. It is definitely one of those books that make you feel less alone.

This was an interesting story of Theo’s discovery of being transgender and nonbinary. They discuss how they came to understand their feelings, why they were uncomfortable with gender norms and their deadname, and how they are continuing to grow and experiment to find their true, authentic self and really feel at home in their body.
