Queer trees

Among the joys of a local public library (not all local public libraries) is that displays introduce you to new books you'd never otherwise know about, like this, featured in a Pride Month display. This Kickstarter-started anthology brings together brief comics by twenty-nine "creators," sharing a little of their story and offering solidarity and encouragement to folks who may be going through similar discoveries. Three swallows do not a springtime make but I noticed that trees feature as sources of solidarity in several.
