The GayBCs is a unique book using the alphabet to explain all about the basics of LGBTQ .

I think this is a great way to introduce terminology to children. It's simple, uses great pictures and makes it easy. I can honestly think of some adults who could use this book...

This book makes it fun to learn and understand. It's very sweet but I can see some people not enjoying it (but those people aren't made for this book anyways). A is for ally, as the book says. I think some of the terminology might go over kids heads, but this book is just an introduction so it won't make much of a difference. I have seen comments from other reviewers that some letters had multiple options, but we need to remember this was only going over the alphabet once. There was always a chance that some terms were going to be left out.

Overall, I think this is a great tool and is very fun. It's full of colours and fun pictures as well!

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quirk Books for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. ( )

The book is about children learning new things in terms of words with the alphabets (vocabularies) than the most common normal way. For example in stead of the normal Aa for Apple the book brings in Aa for Ally which will help the children to expand their world words.

I thought the sentences/definitions could have been better / more explanatory, and the pictures don't really represent the words.
