Description
In the past, being different has often been dangerous, and people couldn't always be open about how they wanted to dress, what gender they wanted to be, and who they loved...
Within these pages, you'll learn about how LGBTQIA2S+ people have used signs and symbols throughout history to communicate with each other, create safe spaces, and celebrate who they are!
You'll recognise the rainbow flags of Pride Month, but what about the Labrys, the Lambda or the Lavender Rhino? This beautifully illustrated guide takes you on a journey through everything from the green carnations of Oscar Wilde and the violets of Sappho to the black rings of asexuality and the reclaimed pink triangles of persecution. A wonderful guide for children 5+ to the visual worlds of queer life.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the free review copy! I thought this was a super interesting and well-formatted book with pretty illustrations. I was surprised how much I learned!
Robyn S, Reviewer
A vibrant, joyful introduction to queer history and symbols for elementary school and younger. The illustrations are bold and engaging and the language is approachable. We read it multiple times and my 7 year old now cites Sappho, so I consider that a pretty serious win. For parents of littler readers, be prepared for a few things that may come up - including a reference to the Holocaust and the pink triangle symbol. The best children’s books encourage meaningful discussion and questions, and this one fits the bill. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy. All opinions are entirely my (and my three young readers’) own.
