Gr 5 Up—A Canadian import on how to identify transphobic behavior and actively work to protect oneself and others from it. Johnson's comic book—like characters and occasional use of panels give the work a contemporary feel, even though the overall design is a bit scattered. Quizzes prompt students to think about their own thoughts and actions, with an emphasis on taking safe steps when resolving real-life situations. In addition, Skelton reminds readers that transphobia can intersect with sexism, homophobia, and other types of discrimination. A timely selection.
