All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson
5.0

This young adult memoir is profound. Johnson, the author, does a magnificent job addressing key topics such as gender identity, sexuality, and toxic masculinity in All Boys Aren't Blue. He uses his own experiences as a gay, black man to supplement the important discussions this book has. While it is short in length, Johnson's memoir is powerful and should be purchased for every library's YA collection. I have never encountered a book before that presents these issues in such a way that teens will both understand and appreciate such heavy topics.
