“Some people are born in the mountains, while others are born by the sea. Some people are happy to live in the place they were born, while others must make a journey to reach the climate in which they can flourish and grow. Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.” p. 191

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an autobiographical comic about Maia Kobabe’s gender identity. I understand why it has been such a challenged book because some of the scenes are very graphic, but I think it has an important purpose and message.

I loved reading about this coming of age story. Eir’s feelings around puberty mimicked many of my own at that age, which was very interesting and fairly somber to revisit. The art style and the author’s words on gender and sexuality and coming into oneself made this a book I would recommend to everyone.
