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.
