I first came across this book thanks to a Youtuber, Emma Thorne, discussing it on her channel when transphobic hate-filled human was calling it grooming material. Just because a child learns what LGBT means does not count as grooming. This is a book aimed for and illustrated for children and keeps to that concept. I guess R for respect still counts as grooming if this whole thing is a groomer's guide.- NO!
The illustrations are cute and you learn more about LGBT. It is about showing respect, body autonomy an adjusting to being a good human being to other human beings on this floating rock. I am glad I was actually able to handle this book and read it for myself.

Saw this book at work when I started back in October & I didn't believe it at first. But it was real, they really made an ABC's book about the LGBTQ+ community. I really liked it, it was cute. :)
Made me happy to see "P" was for "Pansexual". I held the book open & showed my store manager & I was like, "I'm valid! I'm here!" :)

I really like the concept but I do think it should have been A is for Asexual instead of Ally. It's so tiresome seeing so much asexual erasure (I understand that it covers it in the glossary but I still feel like picking Ally is definitely a mistake).

This book is lovely. A short and very sweet introduction to what it is to be an LGBTQ+ person, or to understand others who are. It's an A-Z of terms, each with a brief explanation that also rhymes which is quite cute. Every page is filled with positivity which I think will encourage kindness from children. The book is fully illustrated in colour and has a glossary of terms at the back with further explanations of all the words used.

The idea of the book is very appealing. As a teacher and a queer person, I think it's important that books like these exist and that kids in their early years learn about diversity and normalize it. However, I agree with previous reviewers, it's a shame that the A wasn't for asexual. Allies are important, but it's more important to give visibility to a collective that is, more often than not, ignored.
All in all, it's a cute book that can serve as a good introduction.

This is a fun, entry-level book that encourages children to love, be happy, and be happy with themselves. It encourages children to support each other and have fun. I read it at least once a week before bedtime with my little because I want her to grow up showing people love and grace, and this book is part of that.
