Reading this book was like stepping into a Studio Ghibli film. Chambers has composed something beautiful and hopeful and it left me feeling the world itself can be beautiful and hopeful to. I'm so grateful this exists.

5.0

emotional hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

This was a wonderful read that lost no approachability for being so informative. It has an (admitted) focus on physical disabilities, but I think it stands as a valuable resource for all persons. I'll be recommending this to friends who work in high school education as a great addition to their libraries.
At only 72 pages it is a quick page-turner. Definitions and context are provided throughout, and additional resources suggested at the end.
Andrews' illustrations are wonderful as well! Overall a very well made introduction to some very under-represented aspects of sexual lives and health.
