Queer Heroes takes a well paced walk through a past and present hall of fame of queer people in the public eye. Each entry goes into enough details to give you the information you need while still fitting the picture book format. I loved the illusions, and had a lot of fun reading this one. #LGBTQ #LGBT #QueerBooks #LGBTQBooks

#DecemberSong prompt 11, Hard Candy Christmas, stumped me. I don‘t have many Christmas books or books that have to do with candy! I decided to choose a book who‘s cover reminds me of candy instead.

Eggs Its quite colorful just like 🍭 🍬 🍫 3y
