I want lots of them so that no one's story has to hold that pressure and that weight. But also, specifically more sapphic Christmas stories. There are so many amazing books coming out this year. What I'm really excited about is to see more sapphic stories in general. No one story can do that no single story can reflect every queer experience because all of our experiences are so diverse.

This is a very cute alphabet book, suitable for the youngest child all the way up to early elementary school age children. ![]() ![]() This new edition of Bari Wood's classic The Tribe (1981) features a new introduction by Grady Hendrix and the original paperback edition's cover painting by Don Brautigam.
