Tales From Beyond the Rainbow, by Pete Jordi Wood (2023)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: A collection of queer fairy tales, myths, and legends from around the world.

Review: One of the most damaging lies we‘re told is that queer identities are a new and shocking rupture in human society; that‘s why projects like this one, which collect folklore from around the world that address queer themes and identities are so important. Cont

Mattsbookaday While the stories here have been altered to better fit contemporary sensibilities, I loved that the editor was careful to discuss how and why they made the changes they did, and provided references to where the more traditional versions can be found. My problems with this collection were more to do with my issues with folklore as a whole, so I can‘t really hold that against it.

Not a bad one in the bunch- can‘t wait to see which one I‘ll read in March. #bookspin

BkClubCare Yes! I have read only two: Wounded and Sandwich. Many on my tbr 🌟 3mo
Suet624 @BkClubCare usually, I end up putting old books that have been hanging around for a long time in my list and I‘m usually less than thrilled about the selection. This month I decided to include only books purchased within the last year or two. It feels good. Did you read Newman‘s first book? It‘s a good one. 3mo
BkClubCare No, haven‘t YET but it is has been on my tbr. I don‘t recall why exactly I read Sandwich when I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo

This would be a great story to have children compare with other depictions of the story. They could compare the words or the illustrations. It can also serve as a great writing prompt.

Week 4: Traditional Literature. I love this depiction of the story. The illustrations are colorful and engaging. The author put lots of thought into making the story entertaining. Published in 2014.
