Oh my gosh 5 million stars for this book!!! As a nonbinary person, I laughed aloud in delight when I realized that Tori, the kid in this book, is nonbinary. The authors include a wonderful note about drag, LGBTQ+ activism, and LGBTQ+ identities that is brief but chockful of information and highly readable by kids. This book covers a lot in 40 pages and does it all beautifully. Also, BEST copyright statement ever - I just about died laughing.
