On October 5, 6-7:30, families are invited to join superstar middle-grade author Alex Gino and kids’ bookstore High Five Books at BOMBYX for a colorful release celebration of GREEN, Gino’s newest gender-inclusive novel for readers ages 8-12 (and up!). GREEN tells the story of a non-binary middle-schooler named Green who comes into their own in no small part by fighting for gender-free casting in their school's production of THE WIZARD OF OZ. Alex themself will take the stage at BOMBYX to read, answer audience questions, and sign books. Tickets are pay-what-you-will and available at bombyx.live, and this show is produced in collaboration with Transhealth, Translate Gender, and the J.S. Bryant School.
