Cute for a younger audience or baby gays as a light and playful overview to Queer History.

It might make a playful coffee table edition for younger guest to peruse or something cute for an office waiting room.

This seek-and-find was very fun to do, loved the info I learned along the way. I definitely want to get a physical copy as reading it on my phone wasn’t the best way to experience it.

Gay and trans people have existed throughout time. Here's the proof! Hunt through this Where's-Waldo-esque look-and-find book to look for gay icons (I found you, Sasha Colby!), symbols, and allies in various historical periods, from Ancient Civilizations to modern-day Pride festivals. The book includes explanations of the icons you're seeking, as well as a glossary of queer terms. This is a great addition to a diverse library collection.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and artists for an advanced e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I love the idea of this book, it was quite hard to parse on an ipad though, I think it would work really well as a large paper version though!

I could quibble about who/what are included and missed out, but actually instead I'm going to be pleased that it exists instead

This feels like a book for the queer aunt/uncle to lay on the floor with their niblings and look through, and that's a lovely thought!


I received an advance copy for free from NetGalley, on the expectation that I would provide an honest review.

Art is cute and a lot of fun to play. The history lessons were also interesting. I look forward to seeing this in full size.

Books like this make me so happy. I think they’re so necessary and so FUN. More books like this please!

What a fun book! If you love learning queer history and grew up obsessed with Where's Waldo?/I Spy, you need to check this out. The art is beautiful and it is an interactive way to learn about queer figures and symbols of the past and present. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

This book is a colorful array of fun! It blends history with pop culture seemlessly. I truly enjoyed diving into each page and finding each treasure hidden within. What a fun and unique way to celebrate the LGBTQ culture!?!

I have mixed feelings on this book. Overall it's a really cute seek and find book. However, I do find issue with ally's having an entire section, when many non-LGBTQIA+ people had been mentioned in previous sections. I really think more research needed to go into things. There's plenty of other items and history that could have gone into the book that are kid friendly without having to add so many people that have zero to do with Pride as they are not LGBTQIA+.

However, some parts were really well done and had great history so it's really hard for me to rate or know if I would actually recommend this to people.

A cool way to learn and teach LGBTQ+ history, both past and current.
Not every drawing was an aqurate portrayal of the person's they represented, but I leave that as artistic license.
It was hard to enjoy this as intended when read as an ebook. This would be much more fun as a physical book.
Thanks to @netgalley for the opportunity to read this eArc in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

This is a book written more for adults disguised as a children’s seek and find. I think the idea is fun and playful and the illustrations are colorful. There are 11 double paged seek and find covering different eras. The people or objects being searched for are given in the key before each puzzle. The info about each person or object being sought is informative but includes some of the writers commentary or opinions. I didn’t feel the drawings always looked like the person being illustrated. I did like the history of the various pride flags that are included at the back of the book.

This was such a fun hide and seek book! The first few searches are queerness through the ages, and then it goes into other fun scenes. I loved the variety of things to search for plus all the imagery. So fun!

i have already done the first few pages of this cutie book and wow, i love it! i took a course at my college that reminds me of what i learned in this book. i LOVED the key before going into the fun scavenger hunt and carrying out the historical teachings of gender and sexuality. i loved the inclusion and teaching this fun guide brought to its audience. i would recommend to any from mid-elementary school and up (i think this book is fun at any age and its not too difficult, its more about what you are learning from it). The representation within these pages is vast and i hope to find something like this again!

It's like Where's Wally went to a pride parade! Each search page features queer figures from throughout history, from gods of ancient civilisations to modern pop and TV icons. Each page is full of fun illustrations to keep you engaged as you scour over them in search of the special figures.

It's so fun to have a pride themed seek and find activity book like this!

Thank you to the publisher for putting this up on Netgalley. I'll definitely be looking to get myself a physical copy once it's published.

Thank you author, illustrator, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book!!

This is awesome! I love the drawings and the bright color palette! My favorite thing about this is how much you learn along the way! There’s so much information about the queer community in a fun packaging. And I loved I spy books as a kid so I loved this!

Thoughts:
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This may be one of the most fun ways to learn about our communities history. I have read quite a few books about Pride and the LGBTQ+ community but this book still managed to teach me something new, especially in the middle ages and Gods bits. Having the unicorn, butterfly and pride flag to search for throughout was fun and helped join all the pages together that little bit more. Overall I enjoyed the searching although some took me way longer than they probably should have to find and the pictures/scenes were all fun and detailed. I also appreciated the flags page and glassary at the end for anyone learning new terms or turning to this as their first introduction to LGBTQ+ history.

Favourite Quote:
"Pride is a protest. Pride is a statement. Pride is a celebration.
This book is all of the above!"

A coworker sent me the link for this, thinking it would be something I would be interested in adding to our children's section.
While the content is absolutely fine for children, as is the level of information given, the text is clearly directed at adults ("we all grew up with", etc.) Sadly we don't have a place for look and finds outside our children's room (nor is there really demand for the past age 8 or so), so this likely won't find it's way into our library. It doesn't mean I won't consider giving it as a gift though!

Educational and interactive. There was a lot of great information, presenting in a clear and concise manner. And finding the key figures in the illustrations is a great way to reinforce learning.

A fun learning experience!

This book was so much fun! It's beautifully illustrated and also so educational! I wasn't expecting to learn so much about queer history so was pleasantly surprised with how much information was packed into this search-and-find adventure. Each scene had a range of historical figures and iconic items to find which really ensured that the information wasn't overwhelming. I'll definitely be picking up a physical copy on release as I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Where's Waldo but for the gays! What a fun and colorful seek and find! Takes you through the years and into the arts and entertainment. Fun for adults and kids
