Imagine my surprise when I found this book in the nonfiction kid's section of my local library. I could hardly believe that there was finally a book about LGBT people aimed towards a younger crowd. This is huge.

In a world where we are slowly starting to get more representation, there is still a long way to go though, this book brings me hope. I'm not going to say it's the be all end all of LGBT information. There are definitely more than 23 queer people who have revolutionized the world. But it's a start. It at least includes Harvey Milk, the Stonewall Riots, with a casual mention of Marsha P Johnson and Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. I think this is a great book to introduce younger people to LGBT history and rights.

My only gripe is that mayyyyybe she could have included an asexual person. I mean, there is at least Edward Gorey and Tim Gunn. Possibly even Nikola Tesla, but that's only speculation. Then again, if she could include Joan of Arc, which I think is a stretch, I don't think it would be too difficult to include him.
