A child named Alex tells readers all about their Sunday family dinners at Gram’s house, and introduces us to themself and their cousins: Alex (they/them); Evan (he/him); Ty (he/him); Sunny (she/her); and Mona/Mo (she/her and they/them). Gram has lots of clothes, glasses, shoes, jewelry, and wigs, so after dinner, the kids “get glam,” dressing up in sparkles, heels, hats, and dresses, regardless of gender. Even their uncle gets involved, helping transform shirts and scarves into dresses.
Despite a small mishap with a pair of Gram’s glasses, everyone is having fun. When Gram announces the fashion show, Alex’s two moms take photographs and the aunts and uncles cheer.
This is a sweet slice of life in an extended family, diverse in racial identities, with multiple queer people in it, where everyone is supportive of everyone else and small details (like rainbow and nonbinary flag pins and stickers) testify to both pride and allyship. It’s a recommended title full of queer joy!
