I picked up this book in the children's section at Barnes & Noble because I was looking for positive queer books that I could recommend for young readers. Especially in future education settings.
Oh my god this book is adorable.
The stories are cute & positive. There's a theme of acceptance & love throughout the entire book which helps when reading the moments where the characters are scared of being accepted, so if you're worried about reading queer stories (especially young ones) that may contain unhappy themes you'll be just fine here.
The added fantasy elements to some of the stories are amazing as well. It's great to show the idea of queer people being in all kinds of media and literature, even to younger kids.
It's a solid 4 stars since this book wasn't written for me (the recommended ages are 8 - 12), so I can't really judge the quality of some of the stories. I did still enjoy it and will absolutely recommend it in the future for young readers.
My favorite stories were the first four!

A biographical look at the author's experience of coming out, it's a quick read but very emotional and realistic. It's awkward, relatable, heartwarming, sad, and a worthwhile look into the queer identity and experience.
I read it in an hour, maybe less. It was so good I couldn't put it down. There's nothing quite like seeing yourself in a person that makes a book so gripping. Maia had so many experiences that were similar to mine that I couldn't help but laugh or almost cry because saaaaaaaaaaaaame.
Definitely worth a read. A new fave on my bookshelf!
