I feel like it's only fitting to end 2022 with a banned book, so here we are! Am I surprised certain people want this banned? Unfortunately, no. But it's a great introduction to the LGBTQ+ community, breaking down sexuality, gender, and some of the history behind the LGBTQ+ community. I think it's a great jumping off point for teens questioning their identity, and even for adults who don't know, either.
The tone of this book is really easy to read; it's lighthearted (for the most part), and interspersed with illustrations throughout. It's a really easy book to read, and I hope that it makes it into the hands of people who need it.
