O.K. Is Gay

Author-illustrator Vincent X. Kirsch’s picture book O. K. Is Gay is a bold celebration of being who you are and loving who you love Olivio Kipling, known to his friends as O. K., has something to say: He loves George, and he can’t wait to share his feelings with his whole community. O. K. rushes from friend to friend, excited to tell them his big news, but he’s having some trouble. Everyone assumes they know what he’s going to say, and he can’t quite get the words out. O. K. tries again and again until, with a little help from someone special, he’s finally able to tell everyone what he wanted to say: O. K. is gay, and he and George belong together! From author-illustrator Vincent X. Kirsch comes a sweet story of queer joy that explores how—even in loving and supportive communities—there is power in being able to name who you are, and in finding others who share your experience.
