(3) K-3 Illustrated by Cheryl Thuesday. From Chinese ruler Ai of Han to gun-safety activist X González, this browsable volume is intended to encourage curiosity about and further research on fourteen LBGTQ+ activists, poets, politicians, artists, and thinkers from around the world and throughout history. By eschewing specific gender and sexuality labels in her text, Prager focuses on each subject as a human rather than as representative of any particular group. The page design is lively and inviting; each colorful double-page entry features a stylized portrait on the left-hand page and very brief biographical information on the right. Included are birth and death (if applicable) location(s) and date(s), a descriptive and inspirational statement ("You can be RESILIENT like Josephine [Baker]"), a one- or two-sentence paragraph with general information, and a quotation. Website resources are appended.
