Welcome to Litsy!

Child drag artist Desmond Napoles—“Desmond Is Amazing”—IS in fact pretty amazing. Starting with how trans women like Marsha P Johnson & Sylvia Rivera & the Stonewall riots paved the way for queer people to to be themselves, Desmond goes on to talk about how RuPaul‘s Drag Race show inspired them to dress up & create colourful characters. Dylan Glynn‘s brightly coloured art is an inspired match for the energy of this #GLBTQ picture book. #kidlit

High energy #endpapers

I happen to be reviewing two picture books for young children that include a reference to Marsha P Johnson. That‘s a good thing. Everyone can use an education in transgender history. 🏳️‍🌈 #trans
