Becoming Who We Are: Real Stories About Growing Up Trans by Sammy Lisel

4.0

I know that anthologies can be a hard sell to younger readers, but I think publishers may have found a perfect solution – graphic novel anthologies! While not a new concept entirely, we have been seeing more and more graphic novel anthologies being published. Becoming Who You Are is a great example of what a graphic anthology can look like. Nine authors came together to share their stories about growing up transgender and nonbinary, and they were partnered with comic artists to bring their stories to life. While each section is short, the vibrant and detailed artwork partnered with the text allows the reader to feel immersed in each story and satisfied when it ends. Back matter includes mental health resources as well as LGBTQ+ organizations.
