The ABCs of Queer History

A Through-the-Alphabet Celebration of Queer History in the US, from the Publisher of the  New York Times  Bestseller  The ABCs of Black History   In a beautiful picture book brimming with  P  for  Pride,  writer and poet Seema Yasmin and illustrator Lucy Kirk celebrate all the joys and challenges of queer history in the United States through lively, rhyming verse and bright, colorful illustrations. This is a book of people, of ideas, of accomplishments and events. It’s a book about  Allies  and  Ancestors, about  Belonging  and  Being  accepted, about  Hope,  Knowledge, and  Love. About historic moments like  Stonewall, and how it changed the world. And all about  Trailblazers,  like Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, Harvey Milk, Barbara Jordan, George Takei, Elliot Page, and Sally Ride. And ultimately, it’s a book to help kids learn a different kind of ABCs—not just words like apple, ball or cat, but rather the essence of what it means to be diverse, to be equitable, to be inclusive. That no one counts unless we all count, and how we must open our eyes and ears, minds and hearts, to hear everyone’s story and understand and celebrate their experience.
