This inspiring biography and picture book tells the story of Glenn Burke, the Major League Baseball player who broke boundaries — both as the person who invented the high five, but also as the first MLB star to come out as gay. From realistic fiction to fantasy to sci fi, these stories encapsulate everything from a nonbinary athlete searching for community to a transgender girl encouraging her online friend to come out. After they leave and hatch a plan to save their family, Grayce decides she wants to continue living as a girl, in this story perfect for fans of The Witch Boy and The Legend of Korra.
