Paul en sy ouers het onlangs van die platteland na die groot stad
getrek. En al is die stad vol mense en bedrywigheid, is Paul
eensaam. Op ’n dag gaan stap hy in die reen en kom op ’n klein
hondjie af wat verdwaal is. Hy soek die eienaar van die hondjie,
maar kry niemand en besluit om Vlekkie huis toe te vat. Hulle word
groot vriende, maar Vlekkie mis sy basie, veral teen slaaptyd. Paul
weet dis die regte ding om Vlekkie se eienaar te soek, al wil hy
nie die hondjie verloor nie. Maar om die regte ding doen bring vir
Paul onverwagse geluk... Dis ’n pragtige storie wat hartsnare roer.
Dit leer kinders dat “optelgoed” nie “vatgoed” is nie en dat dit
aan die regte eienaar behoort. En selfs, om die regte ding te doen,
is meer verrykend en bevredigend as wat hulle dink.

Here and Queer is a helpful, friendly guide full of support and
advice about living your best queer life, written for girls. This
vibrant, inclusive guide, designed for all kinds of girls, is
designed to help you be the strongest, proudest, happiest version
of yourself! A celebration of the gift of queerness, it's packed
full of heartfelt advice, comforting stories and stylish
illustrations, and will give you the tools you need to explore your
own identity, on your own terms. Author and YouTuber Rowan Ellis
uses her personal experience to take you through queer life, from
coming out and dealing with tough stuff, right through to finding
friendships and celebrating Pride. There are also brilliant guest
essays from contributors across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The book opens
with guidance on understanding how you feel as a queer girl. From
choosing your pronouns to navigating different labels and
identities, Ellis helps girls understand that they are in control
of their own identity, and that it's ok to not be sure straight
away. Moving onto a glossary of queer terms, Here and Queer helps
introduce girls to the rainbow of definitions and terms which help
queer people understand who they are and how they feel. The book
then moves onto advice on coming out, for many one of the hardest
steps to take on their journey to truly living their best lives.
Following are chapters on sex and romance, including helpful advice
about your first time, as well as guides on consent and knowing how
to make sure you build a healthy and supportive relationship with
your partner. There are also sections on dealing with bullies and
stigma, finding your community and looking after your mental
health, including advice on how to help you find extra support if
you need it. The book also has more information on queer ladies in
history, and on the fight for equality undertaken by brave
activists throughout history and today. Stylishly designed with
cool illustrations, this friendly and supportive book will help all
queer girls navigate the challenges of discovering and embracing
their identities and flourishing in their own skins!
