If Alex Gino wasn't already my favorite children's author, they are now. I am a huge fan of Melissa and Rick, and now this one. Alex is amazing at talking about important topics like racial injustice and LGBTQIA+ issues (and more) in language that is understandable to children (and adults). I have always learned something from Alex's stories. I listened to the audio book, which features a cast of various people playing different characters, including Alex Gino.
