Summary:
"Learning about the LGBTQ+ community involves much more than just learning what each letter in this acronym stands for, and readers are introduced to the many different kinds of people who identify as part of this community as they discover facts about each group's struggle for basic rights and acceptance. Informative, empathetic text presents this sensitive topic in a way that's easy for young readers to understand, and fact boxes give them additional information about the struggles this community has faced in the past and continue to face in the present. Full-color photographs and graphic organizers enhance the reading experience"-- Provided by publisher.
