This book is perfect for my young daughters, and all their friends!
Learning about those that are different from you and proper terms can help to advance equality and put an end to anti-LGBTQIA+ thought processes.
This book helped me understand some terms that I didn’t quite get. It aligns with sensitivity and inclusivity training I’ve gone through, but at a level young minds can absorb. It’s the perfect book to go along with our diverse library. Representation is so important. No child should have to worry about acceptance and if my home can help minds to be more accepting, than it’s my responsibility as a parent raising kind humans.
Matt Webb, thank you! Thank you for the book, the artwork, the representation, the cadence of the story. You have done AMAZING!!!

This books is super cute. I got it for my kiddo and I love the inclusivity.
Thirty one years ago when my daughter was born, books like this did not exist. As my daughter and her wife are preparing to welcome their first child and my first grandchild, The Gaybc’s is perfectly timed.
While we may not agree on the word selections for each letter, let us unite and focus on the book’s message of love and acceptance. This book serves as gratitude for the trailblazers who came before us, the present who lead by example through love and acceptance, and the future who are observing our actions with all of their senses. #LoveIsLove
I cannot wait to read this with our grandchild!

Decent book, but "a" is for ally really threw me off. No, just no.
Very cute picture book introducing kids to LGBTQIA terminology. However, while I understand keeping it simple for kids, I thought they could of done better with not using binary language so much and asexual was completely left out other than the glossary. Also in the parent and educator companion guide that goes with this book there is an exercise where you have kids describe a tv show and they ask about the relationship of parents in the show and they imply that a mom and dad couple are straight. I don’t really care for the idea of assigning orientations to relationships as opposed to the people in the relationship. (Bi and Pan people exist?) Maybe I am overthinking it but overall it’s a very cute intro picture book for LGBTQIA education.
I received an arc of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was an adorable book and it is a great introduction to kids who are either questioning or who just want to become more knowledgeable on the subject of the LGBT+ community.
The first thing I want to draw attention to is the F is for Family. I love the inclusion of found family and the acknowledgement that a family does not have to be related to you in order to call it a family. I think the message that found families are just as important and as much a real family as a related family is a very important message to get across.
This was a very positive book and a very accepting book. I’m pointing this out because often times when discussing LGBT+ issues and rights homophobia, transphobia, and other hatred and discrimination that LGBT people face often get brought up and this book had none of that. This book focused only on the positive aspects of being in the community and I think that is also another favorite part of the book, especially since this is more of a kids’ book.
My one issue is asexual and aromantic. A is for ally and while this is an important term to know, I still think there could have been more of an inclusion of either the asexual spectrum or the aromantic spectrum in the book. The glossary at the back included asexuality, but it did not talk mention aromanticism and the description of asexuality kind of combined the two. I do understand that the author of this book might not have wanted to dive into sexual attraction and what that means, but I still think more of an effort could have been made.
I’m still giving this book five stars despite overlooking asexuality and aromanticism because this is a very important book for introducing kids to the LGBT community and there should be more books like it.

Was really looking forward to this book, until I read the first page. Really disappointed the first letter wasn't 'Ally', which is mentioned in the back of the book in the definitions, but nowhere listed in the book.
Besides this fact, the story concept and illustrations are bright and colorful. It's perfect for a board book for children.
