Welcome to Litsy!

#curiouscovers. This is a good middle grade book.

This is a charming middle-grade novel based on the true story of a young woman who found freedom in the 19th century by living as a man. It was a very quick audiobook accompaniment to cleaning hummingbird feeders this morning. My son and I both enjoyed it quite a bit.

This great story is based loosely on the true story of Charlotte Parkhurst, a woman who lived in the mid-1800‘s and passed for a man her entire adult life. She drove stagecoach and made her own living in California‘s wild west.

Listening to this I kept thinking, transgender people have always been here. It‘s so far past time that we cis make space for people to live authentically.

This was a summer reading book for my new class. This was a great, quick read about a very brave girl. So much happens to her in this little story that I won‘t divulge anything. No spoilers.

Perfect day for my son to come home with this “free” scholastic book about Charley Parkhurst, first woman to vote in CA.
