Queer History A to Z: 100 Years of LGBTQ+ Activism


I haven't been on #NetGalley in a while, and when I went, I stumbled upon "Queer History A to Z: 100 Years of LGBTQ+ Activism." It was written by Robin Stevenson and illustrated by Vivian Rosas. 

["An essential resource for young readers that details the people, events and places that have shaped queer history in North America.

In this exploration of the history of LGBTQ+ activism in North America, middle-grade readers can learn about the key people who led the fight for equality, the events that brought about change and the places where history was made. Presented in an A to Z format, with one topic per letter (“P Is for Pride”), the entries include subjects such as coming out, pride flags, Jazz Jennings and the Stonewall Inn. Young readers will be particularly interested in learning about youth activists such as Gavin Grimm, the history of the first gay-straight alliance and the ongoing issue of banned children’s books in America."]

This book was really good! Some of the information, facts, people, places were a review, but I did learn a lot! Some more modern terms, some new people, some Canadian facts. 

Plus, the pictures and illustrations were gorgeous! The colors popped right off the page. 

This book debuts on May 7, 2024, and you NEED to go check it out!! :D
