Gonna disagree. Your “shitty little queer book” will most definitely make things better because it does what all art ideally does: provide us with imagined possibilities for a future where we exist.
What could be MORE important when hell is unfolding around us?

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

about a year ago today, i got a phone call from a room full of librarians telling me that my book The Real Riley Mayes was chosen as a Stonewall Honor Book.
a year later i’m still so so grateful to the librarians who champion books for queer kids and books for all readers.

I'm working on new picture book samples for my portfolio, and I still like this non-binary kid. So I'm thinking, what if they are Little Red Riding Hood, and I draw some urban scenery for the setting? What do you think?
