Summary | "This book for middle grade readers explores the history of queer activism in North America and the fight for equality for LGBTQ+ folks. The content is structured in an A-Z format, with such entries as "A Is for Activism" and "C Is for Coming Out." Readers will learn about the Stonewall Riots, Marsha P. Johnson, Indigenous queer activism, the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop, Pride flags and so much more. Young readers will be especially interested in learning about youth activists such as Gavin Grimm, the first Gay-Straight Alliance and the history of banned children's books in America. Award-winning author Robin Stevenson brings this history to life in a way that is equally informative, inspiring and accessible for young readers. Her books have received a Stonewall Book Honour and won the Silver Birch Award. Extensive end matter includes short biographies of historical figures, glossary, timeline, resources for kids, author's sources and index."-- |
