This alphabet book features bright illustrations and an inclusive message about the beauty of embracing one's truest self
A playdate extravaganza transforms into a celebration of friendship, love, and identity as 4 friends sashay out of all the closets, dress up in a wardrobe fit for kings and queens, and discover the wonder of imagination.
From A is for Ally to F is for Family to Q is for Queer, debut author/illustrator M. L. Webb’s playful illustrations and lively, inclusive poems feature a glossary in the back which offers opportunity for further discussion of terms and identities. The GayBCs is perfect for fans of A Is for Activist and Feminist Baby—showing kids and adults alike that every identity is worthy of being celebrated.

Really cute story book for children about the LGBT community. Would highly recommend for use in an elementary school classroom or day care center.
Han H, Educator
Such a cute and daring abc for LGBTQ. It doesn’t mince its words, while being mindful of its target audience. It will allow for healthy and open dialogue in a family home and beyond.

A sweet little boom with beautiful, inclusive illustrations, but I’m not sure who the target audience are. The rhymes were a little awkward in places, but the glossary at the end and the illustrations more than made up for that. I’d give it 3.5 stars.

This is a great book for introducing children to different LGBTQ+ identities in an age-appropriate way. I would say the content is suitable for KS1 and above, though younger children might need help with some of the vocabulary (e.g. implies, innate, identify). The illustrations are fun and friendly, though I could only view them in black and white on my Kindle. Great for reading together or independently and written in accessible verse, it also has a glossary at the back to explain many terms and familiarise young children with some of the features of a non-fiction text.

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