I know! I learned about LGBTQ+ through books, so one of my favorite series supporting it would mean so much. Also, since this book is ages 8-12, it would reach people at younger ages, and help people accept it. I mean, maybe writing a book with LGBTQ+ doesn't seem like a big, deal, but like I said, I learned about LGBTQ from books. Not non-ficton on that topic, but fictonal books. And I'm sure at least one other person on the planet learned about it that way, and the more books with LGBTQ+ in them, the more people know about it. It may not seem like a big deal for the white, straight woman writing the books, but she never had the feeling of being represented it books when you're the minority, and that feeling is really great.
