Different Kinds of Fruit by Kyle Lukoff
5.0
I’ll be honest when I say I wasn’t expecting to like this book. I tend not to read LGBTQIA books written for younger audiences, but this one was incredibly well-written and did a wonderful job explaining gender identities and sexuality in an age-appropriate and easy to understand manner.
This book is a great example of how subtle homophobia and transphobia can affect how a young person views their identity. It also does a good job at introducing a variety of characters that hold different beliefs and identities.
It’s important to have books like these that showcase how difficult it can be to interact with gender and sexuality without a supportive community surrounding you.
If you’ve got a young person in your life who has a lot of questions and enjoys learning via fiction then I highly recommend this book. My CAWPILE score is 9.29/10 or 5/5 stars.
