Review Quotes

"Through seven distinct sections--'Identity, ' 'Helpful Habits, ' 'Confidence, ' 'Relationships, ' 'School, ' 'Our Community, ' and 'Success & Future'--Rosswood and Anders present information on a wide variety of topics. The authors open by describing their own genders and sexual identities and offering some personal information about their lives. They also make others' life stories an integral part of the book's content: Portions of the text consist of speech bubbles containing brief reflections by queer teens from around the U.S. who represent diversity in sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, and other factors...
An empathetic handbook that will support a broad range of readers."
