what a beautiful book. i think the most important and inspiring point that was delivered in this book that is dismissed or unrecognised a lot in today’s society is how what was considered “normal” or “acceptable” was a lot broader in inhabited countries in the pre colonial world. European standards greatly changed these norms in preceded countries all around the world, leading to narrower standards of what was considered acceptable in terms of gender and sexual identity. 

i love that this book is accessible for both younger and older readers with the pictures and ultimately middle-grade friendly text meaning younger readers can learn about important figures in LGBTQIA+ history which in my opinion is crucial to self acceptance and freedom to explore their identity.
