I loved that this alphabet book used all LGBTQ and related terms to build the alphabet. Thanks to Quirk Books for this!!

Thanks to Quirk Books and NetGalley for the ARC. Really sweet, simple ABC book using all LGBTQ words. A great reminder of how introducing these concepts to children make their understanding so much more natural and organic. Great job.

The idea of the book is very appealing. As a teacher and a queer person, I think it's important that books like these exist and that kids in their early years learn about diversity and normalize it. However, I agree with previous reviewers, it's a shame that the A wasn't for asexual. Allies are important, but it's more important to give visibility to a collective that is, more often than not, ignored.

All in all, it's a cute book that can serve as a good introduction.

I have mixed opinions on this book. I've been seeking books for our children's section that have a LGBT focus. This one definitely fits. However, as someone who knows there's more nuance to these terms (bi =/= boy or girl but rather one or more genders) and who wishes that some terms had been swapped (asexual instead of ally, esp as the opener of the book), a lot of it just kinda.... was a bummer.

I definitely think this is a good primer but I wish it was a little different than what it is.

A lovely introduction for kids, especially those with diverse parents to introduce them happily and inclusively to terms and concepts in a positive way! Great gift for adults too.

***Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

This is fantastic book that helps young people understand some of the words that have been so prevalent in society. It can be a bit confusing, but overall it is about love and acceptance.
