I enjoyed this one, and I'm glad I listened to it. There were more things left hanging than I would have liked, but as endings go, it's not so bad.

There were things I really liked about this book. I liked the bisexual representation in the book a lot. The erasure that's so easy (or that you're not "enough" for the queer community) is something that I think a lot of people will relate to. I also liked how Cece explained that for her bisexual didn't mean only two genders existed. I also liked the social media aspects of the book, which I think showed it in both good and bad lights.

I just, for whatever reason, didn't really connect with Cece for some reason. I always felt at a distance during the story. Maybe it was a case of not the right time for me. I would definitely recommend this to other though. It might just be the read you are looking for.

I loved learning about Amalia Hernandez and El Ballet Folklorico de Mexico. I love learning about dance, and this fit the bill. Tonatiuh's illustrations are stunning, as usual.

Love learning new folklore and myths, love Tonatiuh's illustrations

Honestly, I didn't think I would even read this book when I first heard what it was about. Dual sexual assaults, and reading about them in 2021? Not sure I can handle that. But this book is both heartbreaking and beautiful. I read it in almost one sitting, I had trouble putting it down. What happens to Ciela and Lock is horrifying, yet McLemore never leaves us without hope.

I found this one a little overwhelming. I don't know that I'll make anything from it, but it was fun to look at.

A beautiful poem and an instruction on how to make delicious salsa. Yum yum!

I guess this book is technically a graphic novel. It feels hard to place to me. It folds out into one long segment (or you can flip them like a book) and then you turn it around to read the other side. It gives you an overview of what it is like to be undocumented, how people try to take advantage of them, and the challenges they face if they do speak up.

Better than I thought it would be. Good for Olympic storytimes and normalizing they/them pronouns.

Sometimes boys like to wear dresses and that's fine. Just like girls like to wear pants.
