About Alex Gino:
Alex Gino loves glitter, ice cream, gardening, awe-ful puns, and stories that reflect the complexity of being alive. Their debut middle grade novel, George, about a fourth-grade transgender girl named Melissa won Stonewall, Lambda, and Children’s Choice Debut Awards, and has been translated into fourteen languages. Their second book, You Don’t Know Everything, Jilly P!, about a seventh-grader learning about her privilege and how to support people in her life without making it all about her, helps kids start difficult conversations and grow from mistakes. And in Rick, which received four starred reviews, Rick starts middle school, discovers a LGBTQIAP+ rights group, connects with his quirky grandfather, and faces the question of when to leave a friend who just might be a jerk.
This event is part of Summer Break Baltimore, a fun, free program for all ages that encourages literacy and learning in our community.
