pickThis is story told in four voices. Two of the characters are in Vermont and two are in Seattle, and each is trying to find their place in the world. They face bullying and difficulty, but react with kindness and grow from their experiences. Their kindness brings them together and let‘s them know they‘re not alone. The story specifically promotes acceptance and kindness for nonbinary and trans youth.

It‘s a dreary, rainy Saturday morning, so I baked a batch of muffins and am reading a few chapters of this book.

pickTranscendent. A story of being who you are meant to be. There is a wonderful feeling of community.
pickI loved this book. The title says it all but I would also add that it‘s just great empathy and social guidance. Funny, honest swearing like “recalling an instance when, say, you were a chickenshit coward and didn‘t come to this party last year.” Good balance of information, examples, reflective prompts, and advice. Fun mix of fonts and sizes and colors with the text. I appreciate that infertility and miscarriages are included in grief situations.
Happy Pride Month, peeps! Wear your colors and support the LGBTQIA+ community! Not only during this month, but every day!

pickYes. 💜💜💜💜💜
An easy to digest guidebook to being a supportive human to those in need. It‘s hard to know the “right things to say,” but showing up and being there are often what the person needs. Bring those listening ears…
My reading intentions for July are askew, but I‘m delighted to have seen this title come up on a Litsy/Goodreads pal‘s thread. My best friend/work wife is dealing with a gut-wrenching loss, and I‘m forever the awkwardly uncomfortable human that I am. I‘m hoping the advice and takeaways in this read will help me be there for her (and others).
pickBeautiful story about connection and acceptance. Libby‘s family is full of bullies- she refuses to become one. Vincent finds solace in triangles while being harassed at school. Jack is coping with the loss of his brother as his school is in danger of being shut down. T lives on the street. 4 isolated kids are drawn together by words of encouragement and acts of kindness. This book discusses trans identities in a way kids can understand.
so-soIt's possible that my brain lacks imagination or maybe I'm too cynical. I just kept waiting for something bad to happen. But it never really did. Indigo is a great kid who people instantly trust. He makes friends easily and is loyal. The book was fine, very colorful... but just not for me.
