One of the other books I purchased recently was "Rainbow Revolutionaries: Fifty LGBTQ+ People Who Made History." It was written by Sarah Prager and illustrated by Sarah Papworth. It's "technically" a children's book, but it was fascinating and fun and informative.
["This groundbreaking, pop-culture-infused LGBTQ+ illustrated biography collection takes readers on an eye-opening journey through the lives of fifty influential queer figures who have made a mark on every century of human existence.
Rainbow Revolutionaries brings to life the vibrant histories of fifty pioneering LGBTQ+ people from around the world. Through Sarah Prager’s (Queer, There, and Everywhere) short, engaging bios, and Sarah Papworth’s bold, dynamic art, readers can delve into the lives of Wen of Han, a Chinese emperor who loved his boyfriend as much as his people, Martine Rothblatt, a trans woman who’s helping engineer the robots of tomorrow, and so many more!
This book is a celebration of the many ways these heroes have made a difference and will inspire young readers to make a difference, too. Featuring an introduction, map, timeline, and glossary, this must-have biography collection is the perfect read during Pride month and all year round."]
There are about 100 pages in total, not including the glossary and key-words dictionary as well as several pages dedicated to symbols and flags. Each individual had a full page bio as well as a full page illustrated portrait (and then fun borders that were themed to them, their life, and how they shaped history). There's also a map of the world that tells you were each Rainbow Revolutionary is from (or where they made history).
It was also gorgeous. And honest. Perfect for children and adults alike!
