âNo one gets to tell anyone they donât belong anywhereâ
If you know me at least a bit, you know I am a supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I think itâs extremely important to teach children the importance of equal love and the freedom of becoming who you are, no matter what your sexuality is. You donât need to belong to a community or minority to be an ally.
Noah and his friend Miguel are being bullied because they are gay. His sister Joy wants to cheer him up and bake cookies to raise awareness.
The thought behind this is great. Itâs sweet: being an ally is easy. Standing up to the bullies is the hard thing.
The story is very simple but to me it lacked an emotional connection. It was very fact on, but the heartfelt part for me was missing. This topic needs love, joy and emotions. Itâs also not explained I. The story what âbeing gayâ means. Explain it in a child friendly language, thatâs what I thought this would be about.
At the end there was a kind of glossary with questions for discussion and prompts what you can do. I am not totally convinced through. As said, I miss the emotions, should it have gone deeper?
Anyway, I applaud the authors for sending a message and teaching kids. Thatâs super cool.
Unfortunately I was not a fan of the illustrations at all. Sorry.
