Book Cover: George by Alex Gino. The word
George
by Alex Gino
Genre: Children's Literature/Adolescent Literature, LGBTQIA+, Fiction
Originally Published 2015
"My point is, it takes a special person to cry over a book. It shows compassion as well as imagination." Ms. Udell patted George's shoulder. "Don't ever lose that, George, and I know you'll turn into a fine young man."
