GENDER QUEER by Maia Kobabe is an absolute gem — beautifully illustrated, honest, and sensitive, anyone who has struggled to fit a strictly binary definition of gender identity will relate to this book. I’m so proud to be part of the cast bringing the graphic novel to audio, including Maia Kobabe eirself! (Kobabe uses e/em/eir pronouns).
I love Queer stories and memoirs not just on the principle of representation and taking up space and helping other Queer folks know they are not alone… but also for their value in inviting cisgender and straight folks into our many (sometimes different, sometimes similar) experiences. And to help allies, friends, and family better understand the diversity within the Queer community beyond the Queer individuals they might know personally, too.
Much thanks to director Maureen Monterubio and to producer Nick Martorelli at PRH Audio for this title!
