Reviews
What a wonderful addition to the ace and aro bookshelf. The writing is approachable. The illustrations are playful. And the interactive pages make some of the hard ace and aro questions easier to tackle. Our identity journeys can be delicate things, and Amazing Ace, Awesome Aro is a warmhearted, gentle friend every step of the way. -- Cody Daigle-Orians, asexual writer, educator and advocate.
