Summary: The narrator thinks it's awesome that his Uncle and his Auntie are the same person. Uncle Leo is an accountant and is great at helping with math homework. Auntie Lotta is a fabulous performer who loves to sing at home with her nephew. One day Lotta's family comes to watch her perform at the local pride parade. Suddenly, a dog breaks free of its leash and nearly causes a float-crash, but Lotta springs into action just in time to save the dog and the parade. The mayor wants to give her a medal for courage and to celebrate with all her friends, but Lotta worries that her friends who only know him as "Leo" won't get along with her fellow drag performers who know her as "Lotta." With the help of her nephew, they put together a fierce look that is both Leo and Lotta, the perfect ensemble for an Auntie Uncle. A sweet, uplifting story about boldly being your true self that's a "Lotta Fun."

My Chacha is gay
My Chacha is gay
written and illus. by Nice Mangos
Language: English
Summary: This children's book is set in Pakistan and deals with the issue of homophobia. With all the religious intolerance and extremism in Pakistan its important to push back with the arts and with education. The best way to do this is to start early and teach our children tolerance and diversity from a young age. The book also aims to show the rest of the world that *all* Pakistanis cannot be defined by the terrorism and intolerance you see in the media. We are a varied people, amongst us there are many kind, gentle and diversity loving souls. But sadly, those voices are drowned out or silenced by extremists.
