Rick

£5.75

Okay, so without giving too much away, it turns out that George was not the only one in that story who was struggling with their identity. 

Opening this book was like wrapping myself in a familiar blanket again. Isn't it always the way - so many of us feel like we're hiding the biggest secret, only to find out that sometimes it's those we least suspect who are fighting their own inner battle. 

The story of Rick will resonate with a lot of LGBTQ+ youth and we can't stress enough how amazing it is to see this kind of visibility in children's literature. One of Jeremy's students ran into the classroom recently yelling, 'Did you know there's a sequel to George?! And we have it in our library!' 

These are fantastic books to read with your children if teaching your children about the diverse world around them is at the top of your priority list.
