Queerness is everywhere and it always has been. But queer stories, culture and communities have been often hidden . . .
Queerbook is an invitation to discover and celebrate queer joy, past and present. It’s a whistlestop tour of all the fun (and serious) queer stuff that the foghorn of straight culture drowns out, and that you deserve to know: heroes and histories, science and stories, art, spaces, music, film, TV, fashion – along with jargon-free breakdowns of terms from sexuality and gender identity, to code-switching, intersectionality, bi-erasure, straightwashing, and much, much more.
You don’t need any specific interests to read Queerbook – all you need is curiosity and a desire to learn more about what it means to be LGBTQ+. So, say no to the Straightrix and enter the technicolour world over the rainbow . . .
Ready? Queer we go!
Jou liggaam verander, nuwe emosies verwar jou en jy het honderd
duisend vrae wat jy nie weet hoe of vir wie om te vra nie. Jy is
skielik fyngevoelig, selfbewus en sommer net moeilik... Maar
hoekom? En hoekom is daardie pes van ’n meisiekind ewe skielik vir
jou so oulik? As al die bogenoemde waar is, is hierdie boek vir
jou. Want jy is ’n “puber” en ’n nuwe wereld gaan vir jou oop.
Selfs nog voor jongmense vir die eerste keer seks en seksualiteit
ondervind, wonder meisies en seuns reeds ’n geruime tyd oor al
hierdie dinge. Ouers weet meestal nie hoe om sulke sensitiewe vrae
te beantwoord nie en het nie noodwendig tyd om by te hou met wat in
hul tienerkinders se koppe aangaan nie. Met die gevaar van
ongekontroleerde bronne op die internet vandag, is dit belangrik om
die regte inligting van ’n betroubare bron te verkry, en dis wat
hierdie boek poog om te doen. Jan von Holleben het op by kreatiewe
en prettige wyse die avontuur van grootword deur middel van foto’s
daargestel, en Antje Helms gee insiggewende antwoorde op ’n
direkte, maar sensitiewe, manier. Die boek bied antwoorde op
allerhande vrae oor puberteit en seks wat jongmense nie noodwendig
vir hul ouers wil vra nie.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse (Riverdale's Jughead) and Haley Lu Richardson (The Edge of Seventeen)!
In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can’t get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives. Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control - even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
A unique and gentle art-therapy-based book to help children

they can 'speak' about gratitude through their art. At the end of
the book, children have a set of self-made resources to use again
and again when they need a reminder of their creative coping
skills. All the Colours of Me is a series of books written by Art
Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner, Anna Shepherd. The
series addresses key emotions in the life of a child through safe
and gentle creative engagement. Each books includes a guide for
