This weekend I read two awesome new books by and about non-binary people. Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe is a graphic memoir about growing into who you are. It hits on so many moments—the challenge of asking for the correct pronouns, figuring out what clothing works for you, and how freeing fandoms can be. Plus, the art is magical! I Wish You All the Best is a novel about Ben, a non-binary highschool student. Ben is kicked out of their home when they come out to their parents as non-binary, and moves in with their older sister. Ben is lucky and has lots of support—their sister and her husband, their vlogger best friend, the art teacher, and a new, awesome group of friends at the new school. One of those new friends is also maybe a new crush? I Wish You All the Best is sweet, romantic and real.<br /><br />As a non-binary person myself, these books filled a deep need for representation that I didn’t realize I had. Thank you @redgoldsparks and @mason_deaver for the incredible gift of being able to see myself in literature. (And a shoutout to my awesome VPL crew for being the best coworkers/photobombers ever!)<br />#teenteamtuesday #vancouverpubliclibrary #teensatvpl #teenfiction #yareads #comics #enby #nonbinary #genderqueer #ownvoices
