The Pants Project
“Clarke artfully twists together LGBTQ concerns and disability issues with self-esteem, respect, and compassion. This book is a current-day Beverly Cleary or Judy Blume, delving into issues faced by kids, like bullying and tolerance, but with an issue experienced by many kids today.”
