A Quick & Easy Guide to Queer & Trans Identities

I read this Quick and Easy Guide to learn more about Queer & Trans identities during Pride month. I really enjoyed the art style used in this book and value all the information contained in this short volume. Although much of what this book contained was familiar to me, I also learned some new things and would recommend this book to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This lives up to the title - it was quick and easy! This is a great book for all sorts of people, LGBTQ+ or not, and explains concepts such as sex, gender, orientation, and identity. It also touches on gender dysphoria, self-love, and even guidelines for healthy relationships which are so important. Also, the snails are VERY cute!

What a brilliant, clear and necessary book! I absolutely loved that the authors talk about the Queer and Trans Identities, but also devote a few chapters on how to build a good relationship, and how to recognize red flags.

I really enjoyed the colorful illustrations, and the idea of including some adventures from The World of The Sproutlings to illustrate the journey of queer characters. I didn't really like the font used in this world, as it was sometimes hard to read it, but in the end I got used to it.

I need to mention that they included at the end of the book some cool bonuses: “Design a Friendship Jacket”, “Write a letter to your Dear Past or Future Self”, “Create your own Sprout-Sona”, and “How to make a mini zine”. Those were very nice additions to the book.

I feel like so much as been explained in a matter of a 100+ pages, and I can't wait to read their other book “A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns”. I would highly recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
