I can't describe the look on the students' face when they saw we got our books for our Rainbow \"Rainbook\" Club to read together. Although we live in a city that can be rich of cultures, religions and lifestyles; the LGBTQIA+ community is one that deserves love as well! With the books selected, we are introducing them to a different world of gender, expression and sexuality. Just as the author says in the book, A Different Kind of Fruit, \"together Annabelle, Bailey, and their families discover how these categories that seem to mean so much—boy, girl, gay, straight, fruit, vegetable—aren't so clear-cut after all.\" Whether we read about historical figures such as Martha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, or learning about different genders, they'll be learning that LGBTQIA+ is more than an acronym!\r\n\r\nI hope you have a wonderful holiday and thank you for all your help!
