#Bookhaul! My husband gave me a Powell‘s gift card for Christmas but then said I couldn‘t use until we moved back (rude!). So now that we‘re back and I finished the taxes yesterday, I made the drive and found some great books. I removed myself from the store when too many things started looking good. 😂 You all know how that is.
A choose your own adventure book for learning about gender identity, sexuality, & the differences between biological sex & gender identity.
Fairly basic, sometimes reductive & repetitive, & occasionally plays up stereotypes. But is also a fun starting point for anybody‘s journey into learning more about gender identity, while also briefly touching on the intersections of race, class, & disability & the difficulties facing those groups.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Soft pick because this is a frustrating, sometimes painful read. It's a great illustration of the phrase “don't be your child's first bully,“ though the mom certainly isn't the worst; she doesn't put her child in conversion camp or pray over him or kick him out, just refuses to accept his name and identity. Just.
It's certainly a valid story and she does learn and grow, becoming a “SuperAlly!“ in the end. Includes a letter from the son.
You fear that Alex will be marginalized, but the first and foremost marginalization is family rejection.
The trans rights annual readathon is almost here!
March 21-31
I will be reading:
Disappoint Me by Nicola Dinan
Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi
Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg
This said,” pick me “ ,at a local bookshop. Thought it might be good for my grandson but also thought I would read it first. I‘m not a graphic novel fan but this was an easy read. For anyone grappling with gender issues or wishing to understand these things , a easy and interesting read. I will be giving it to my grandson.
Not being a MiddleGrade student, it‘s probably unfair of me to rate, so let‘s call it a low pick. Born a girl but uncomfortable with culture messages of what she *should* be interested in, Bug is also mourning her recently deceased Uncle (who might be haunting her!) I could identify with the confusion of being told “just be yourself!” But WHO is YOU when you don‘t know what you feel and are uncomfortable in your own skin? #BannedBook #Transgender
I requested all three of these books because a friend told me that an Ohio teacher has been reprimanded for offering these to her students. I don‘t know all the details but I do know and fully believe in allowing books be available to readers. Letting my library know these books are valued. #readbannedbooks #heatedblanket #bringit #lfg
