Once upon a time . . . happily ever after turned out differently than expected. In this new, feminist, queer fairy-tale collection, you' ll find the princesses, mermaids, knights, barmaids, children, and wise old women who have been forced to sit on the sidelines in classic stories taking center stage. A gorgeous all-new collection in graphic novel format from a Stonewall Honor-winning author and artist. What if the giant who abducted you was actually thoughtful and kind? What if you didn' t want to marry your handsome, popular, but cold-inside suitor? What if your one true love has all the responsibilities that come with running a kingdom? Award-winning author Melanie Gillman' s phenomenal colored-pencil art creates another "ever after" for the characters who are most worthy of it.
"Fresh and exciting; sure to delight and surprise. " -Kirkus Reviews "A work of fresh twists and many queer happily-ever-afters for all lovers of fairy tales. " -Booklist "These inspiring, brief stories will especially resonate with readers who have always felt underrepresented or absent entirely in fairy tales, romance novels, or even their own lives. " -The Bulletin "Melanie teaches us important life lessons with their book. . . through their beautifully illustrated stories. And all of them with that sweet, sweet queer rep that' s missing from most children' s books!" -The Honey POP
