The author of "Gender Queer," the graphic novel with explicit sexual content that has shown up in public school libraries across the country, outraging parents, is saying her book is not actually for kids.
Last week, author Maia Kobabe, who identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns "e, em and eir," explained that while her book might be appropriate for "older teens," she does not recommend it for children.
"It keeps being called a children's book ... but I think that's coming from a misreading of the comic-book form. 'Gender Queer' is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn't mean it's for children. I originally wrote it for my parents, and then for older teens who were already asking these questions about themselves. I don't recommend this book for kids!" she told The Washington Post in an interview published last week.
