This is book is technically a kids book and it is a great introduction into the history of the Stonewall Riots and the movement for LGBTQ+ rights for kids. There is no explicit information that might make caregivers worry about age appropriate content but it still gives really important information.
The history given is done by taking the reader on a journey of 50 objects. Each object (a photograph, a button, a patch, a newspaper article etc) has historical significance and the story of the object and the people involved is taught.
But this isn't just for kids at all. It is a valuable and interestingly done primer for anyone interested in learning more about the people and events surrounding the 1969 Stonewall riots.
It is a super quick read, I read it in a little over an hour.
