As nervous as I was about it being a children’s book, I didn’t need to be. This book was breathtaking. The queer and disability rep were lovely. The way that this book tackled tough topics in a way that was palatable for young audiences was spectacular. I’ve never read anything like this and I wish I had. I really wish I’d had something like this available to me as a kid. If you haven’t read it, give it a try. Especially if you have kids and think it would be a good book for them.
