Welcome to Litsy!

The German translation uses a name more familiar with younger kids. In this case I support the change so children in German speaking countries have a better connection to the story. A story that is so simple, but some people really struggle with that: take children serious and support them. It could be so, so easy. This book shows us that children know who they are and are perfectly comfortable when the surroundings help them finding their way.

#ReadingBracket2024 nonfiction update for March
Fine was a really great nonfiction comic but Better Living Through Birding is ultimately moving ahead

This was an interesting & informative look into gender and what it means to different individuals. Ewing conducted a series of interviews asking about people's genders in a search for understanding of their own & came to the conclusion that... it's complicated. So many factors play into it & there are so many ways to express yourself outside the binary. I appreciated the comic style and how the interviews were organized to create a cohesive theme.

This is a beautiful book about grief and loss. About a kid trying to make sense of the world without a family member who, now, appears to be haunting their family house. Manifesting ghosts through said grief allows Bug to figure what the Uncle needed to say as he prepares to pass. The result makes sense through the subtle hints.
Picked up because it‘s cause controversy as my library‘s new book clubs first choice.

This was a very wordy graphic novel. I enjoyed the interview portions, but I was a little confused with the autobiographical sections. I didn't have a strong sense of the author's struggles with gender; either I forgot an early panel or they didn't give a lot of detail to their problems. If the latter, that is absolutely their right, I just found it hard to connect to their story with limited information.

Rhea's project to understand gender on a deeper level and unexpected self-examination is a thoughtful, inclusive look at gender and gender experiences. I loved this insightful book. Rhea approaches the subject matter extremely well. This definitely got me thinking many times. It was interesting to read so many people's experiences paird with Rhea's own reflections. #LGBTQIA #Comic

I love nerdy references I find in comics (especially when I know all of the referenced properties!). ♥️ #Comics #Nerdy
