First of all, thank you to the author and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book as ARC.
This is a light-hearted yet informative book about LGBTQIA+ Symbolism, which explains some of the most common and used symbols in a clear yet simple and understandable manner. While the book is targeted to middle-grade / children, I believe it could be a nice introduction to the topic for everyone. The book is inclusive and includes less-represented categories. If there is anything I would change it would be to add even more symbols as I found the book to be on the short side.
Read if: you want to learn more about LGBT Symbolism and its origin
Don't read if: you are looking for an extensive explanation behind symbols, as the book is only scratching the surface.
