Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

As the title suggests, this book is targeted at parents of children and teens who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). The authors detail their coming out stories in the introduction, which provides readers with a clear understanding of their background and perspective. In addition to the intended audience, teens may also find this title useful for making sense of their parents' experience. Similar books do not provide such a personal look into the stories and experiences of LGBT children and teens. The authors have provided pinpointed lists of information and easy-to-follow charts along with short summaries of chapters. The question-and-answer format is clear and the responses acknowledge that there are different options for helping both children and parents deal with the coming-out process. Readers will find important advice and information they might otherwise be reluctant to seek out. An excellent and much-needed resource.—April Sanders, Spring Hill College, Mobile, AL

Review

"Danielle Owens-Reid and Kristin Russo’s question and answer book is the perfect guide for parents of gay and questioning children. They answer all the potential questions a parent might have… with a lot of love and patience."

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021
I can’t promise it will change my parents viewpoint on the LGBTQ community but I can feel that they feel reassured and atleast know more about what they couldn’t understand before. Would recommend this book and I don’t believe it would trigger any extreme homophobia and it makes sure to keep it settle but still getting the main point across. 10/10 would recommend.
