American Teenager Book Club Event with Nico Lang and EqualityMaine. Sunday April 20. 2:00pm. Back Cove Books.

"With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids trying their best." - Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer

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 expansive kids themselves.

On Sunday, April 20, join Nico Lang and our communications manager Jessi Holleran as they discuss AMERICAN TEENAGER. 

The event is free but registration is preferred!

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. 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.
