It's a rare, powerful, and beautiful thing to hold in your hands words that will save lives. Unless you're a little trans or nonbinary kiddo, or someone important in the lives of that kiddo. Then, I imagine, you will experience this book the way it was intended. As a vibrating talisman of hope, truth, affirmation, guidance, and protection. All this is enough to make me recommend the experience of this book to anyone. It's the first anthology of trans and nonbinary kid lit. Ever. It's history you...
Not only is this book magical, it is also empowering and uplifting for young women. The stories in the book encompass all the things wonderful. Must read for transgender girls and girls everywhere! Illustrations are equally amazing!
I'm happy this book exists, if just for the message each story tells. I know I'm not the target audience, but reading through some of the stories, I can find relatability to when I was a kid, and even now as an adult. There's something comforting about the way people open up their own hearts to help others not feel so alone.I've never read children's stories quite like these. There's a twist of magic in every story; instead of being spoon fed a message, the fantasy elements kind of unravel it, l...
There is a 99% chance that readers of all identities and ages will find something precious and comforting in Amy Eleanor Heart, et. al's collection of short stories that offer strength and hope for transgender and non-binary children world wide. After the first few lines I knew that this book would positively shape the future stories of these children, and immediately added it to my future classroom or personal library list. A line from the anthology that can take many shapes, based on who reads...
This was an incredibly tender collection of trans fairy tales and magical stories. I didn't know what to expect going in, but once I started I was hooked on the different worlds these stories presented. I do think that if there were to be a second edition, or a second anthology, the illustrations should be color and lean away from the more heinously digitally stylized art. Kids need rich, vast spectrums of color, and art with textures and tones. That's part of the magic of fairy tales!
I've been incredibly inspired by the creative stories in this book!! All week I've been coming back to the re-read the literal magic woven by these writers. Every age has something to gain from reading these fantastical gender journeys that make a unique beautiful compendium. In fact, it would make a badass gift. Every story is unique, every journey is vivid, and every experience is delivered with grace. I am floored and grateful and very in looove 😻 Thank you HeartSpark Press! I encourage anyon...
Overall I enjoyed reading the stories in this book. I was a bit disappointed to see that all of the stories were for transwomen and not any transmen. I think that overall goal of the book to help bring relatable stories to transgender youth is met in this book, but would really like to have seen a bit more diversity for the trans community to reach a greater population of children. As a parent of a nonbinary youth I would like to see more books and stories for her to relate to and connect with i...
I think there is geared a little younger than I was hoping for. It seemed to be aimed more in the 6-10 age range IMO. I guess it does say for kids versus teens. It also seems to be more for transgender girls than for transgender kids in general. I thought it had a good variety of artwork and stories. The cover is pretty.
A truly inspiring book that I would recommend to anyone, anywhere as a way to explore their own relationship with themselves, their children, and the transgender community. The best part of this book is that it is written by and for the transgender community in a way that inspires, supports, uplifts, encourages, and empowers through fantastical settings but very real emotions.
Amazing collection of short stories aimed at providing stories for those who are exploring who they truly are in this world. This can be a life changing (potentially saving) set of stories for children. Fully recommend to all children and young adults who have an open mind for all humans of this world.
Beautiful, powerful, soul touching.“.. it is the moment we take back our power and step into the truth of who we already are.”“..the children, may they know they are loved, they are loved, They are Love. Amen.”
Incredible book, highly recommend for anyone to better understand an oft misunderstood group of people.
A great book with an awesome personalized touch! Highly recommend!
A delightful collection
