Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up—A short but global view of LGBTQIA+ milestones and important figures, this vibrant book shines all the colors of the rainbow on history that's largely only been told in black and white. Bright infographics, time lines, and notable quotations add visual interest, while one-page profiles of notable figures such as Oscar Wilde, Audre Lorde, and Marsha P. Johnson will be sure to motivate readers to seek out additional sources on their own. Starting with ancient human societies across the globe and moving through the centuries to today, this bird's eye view of LGBTQIA+ history will help young people find hope in how far we've come and gain inspiration for the necessary work still ahead. The author never balks at sharing hard truths about the hate and violence that many folks have faced throughout history; however, the major notes are positive, affirming, and full of pride. Inspiring messages from modern-day young adults offer many diverse perspectives and serve as a cleansing breath at the end of each chapter. VERDICT A highly accessible, entertaining, and visually engaging nonfiction book that is a recommended first purchase for all middle and high school libraries.—Catherine Cote

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read facts about LGBTQ history.

A.C. · October 31, 2022

I used this book to help me prepare for a program about diversity at a returement community. It provided a lot of information in a format that didn't take a lot of time to read. I think it would be very important for late grammar school age children to learn about the history of people who have been treated badly for hundreds of years, and are still facing struggles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brief overview, but still insightful.

G. · August 16, 2022

A brief ovreview of some prominent figures that paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights and culture.

Great Book for an overall Summary

W. · February 6, 2023

This book is a great summary of the events that have occurred historically within the LGBTQ community leading up to today. My daughter is a huge supporter and has been for years and she was very impressed with the book. She even learned some things that she wasn't aware of! This is a good book for those looking for a crash course in what the LGBTQ community has endured, and how it has become as strong as it is today.
