TFALpodcast kicks off PRIDE month with a conversation with author and illustrator Mike Curato. In this episode Elaine and Producer Mike learn about Mike Curato’s journey with Gaysians, Curato’s first graphic novel for adult audiences. Curato is best known for Little Elliot, a picture book series, and Flamer, a young adult graphic novel which has the distinction of being listed as one of NPR’s Best Books of 2020 while simultaneously being one of the most banned and challenged books in the United States. Pick up Gaysians at your local independent bookstore or Bookshop.org. You can also catch Mike on his book tour!
