  American Teenager - How Trans...

  From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight  
  trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily  
  triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America  
  today. 
  Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be  
  allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the  
  heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For  
  their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the  
  country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens  
  and their families.  
  From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in  
  California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager 
  gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,  
  Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want  
  us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds  
  of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their  
  communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to  
  grow up trans today. 
  “With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids  
  trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest  
  potential.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir

  Good Friends - Bonds That Change...

  From the co-author of Tell Me Who You Are and a TED speaker, a book that reveals the importance of friendship as a tool of social justice. Friendship is good for your health. Studies show that loneliness is as deadly as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. Still, we are not taught how to be good friends to one another. We cancel plans, lose touch, blame technology, and neglect our non-romantic loved ones. In Good Friends, author Priya Vulchi explores friendships across history, continents, and identities to show how friendship can open up new levels of joy and community in your life. What is the meaning of friendship, these miraculous bonds with once-strangers? How do you begin friendships? End them? Keep them vibrant? For answers, Vulchi weaves through Western classical thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero, and uncovers the private moments between good friends like James Baldwin, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Yuri Kochiyama, Toni Morrison, and June Jordan. Friendship, she shows, has ripple effects beyond just any two friends; it awakens solidarity and changes in the world.  Through her inspiring and impassioned prose, Vulchi entirely reimagines our platonic ties, revealing that friendship, in the right hands, is a brilliant act of love and resistance. Intimate and engaging, Good Friends offers a resounding cry that friendship is not only vital for our own individual well-being, but for humanity itself. It invites you to be inspired not just by what people do but how people love. It invites you to look at your friends differently and enter a dazzlingly fresh philosophy of human connection.
