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!

Flooded is the funny and beautifully illustrated tale of animals
who live in a city that is ever so slowly flooding. The flood comes
gradually at first. All the animals ignore the obvious and go about
their busy lives, disjointed from one another and preoccupied by
their own problems. Eventually, the flood water reaches a height
that they can no longer ignore and they have to work together to
save their city. All the animals join together in a line and pull
out the plug that is drowning the city. This is an exceptionally
illustrated story that teaches a message not to let problems fester
and with a little team work and community spirit, no problem is
insurmountable.
