"All Boys Aren’t Blue" by George M. Johnson
A banned book that dares to tell the truth. I’ve never felt as seen as I do reading this memoir. Johnson’s raw, honest storytelling reminds us why representation matters. 5/5 🌟

This is a loving, honest, beautiful picture of a queer black boy. As it is a #bannedbook I expected something a little more raw. Even though the characters are flawed, this is a book of understanding, love and growth. Highly recommend. #allboysarentblue #georgemjohnson

All Boys Aren’t Blue tells the truth plainly. That is why it keeps getting banned. When policy decides which children are allowed to see themselves in books, it's not protection. It's control. #BannedBooks

voodoocactus's review of All Boys Aren’t Blue
2/5: This is a strange book and I’m not sure what to say about it. Biographies in general are hard to review because how do you rate someone’s personal experiences? ANyhoo, I have Opinions. This is apparently one of the most banned books in the US (school libraries at least?) which I both understand (OMG GASP PENISES!) and don’t really get, because it’s not that explicit (looking at you, JVN…). Then again, this is extremely relevant to the current far right – anti black – anti trans – anti women – climate denialist – anti human rights movement that leaks like a sewer from the US to other countr...

This beautiful memoir I recommend to anyone who is willing to dive into a conversation about discovering who you are, owning your narrative, and molding said narrative to reflect your values and true personhood.
