This book was written with love by a diverse group of people who come from all sorts of backgrounds and places across the globe.
We wrote this book for you. It is about what it’s like to be young, in care, and queer. Being queer and in care can be a unique experience. You are unique. But sometimes, that uniqueness can also make you feel alone, and that’s why we wrote this book.
We hope that by reading and engaging with this book, you’ll feel less alone, find comfort in who you are, and strengthen the connections you build. This book is also about connecting with your inner power to stand up for yourself and finding communities of support, because you deserve to be stood up for.
