I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This little graphic novel is what the title says it is: 'A Quick & Easy Guide to Queer & Trans Identities'. It's a short, but very informative read and will probably appeal to readers of all ages. It's very easy to follow and the information is not too overwhelming.

We live in a fast-changing world and sometimes it's hard to keep up with things, especially the variety of queer and gender identities that are out there, but these identities are important, especially to those identify themselves by them. As Many G writes in the intro, 'These labels are not for outsiders, they are for the humans themselves to describe their own lives and experiences and to connect with others who share similar experiences.'

The guide is narrated by a snail, with little vignettes in between the main sections featuring diverse creatures called Sproutlings. For such a short book, it covers a considerable amount of topics. It could be a good conversation starter in any amount of situations.

I'd recommend this book for anyone who is exploring who they are or for some who are curious about the various identities that are out there. It's due to be released in April 2019 and if you're curious enough, pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
