"A loving tribute to a woman who stood up for love. We owe a great deal to Edie for her courage and determination, and we owe a great deal to Michael Genhart and Cheryl Thuesday for bringing her story to life. This is an important and inspiring book." -- Lesléa Newman, author of Heather Has Two Mommies and Sparkle Boy "I can hardly imagine how different my childhood might have been had I been able to read a book about Edie Windsor. Kudos to Genhart and Thuesday for recognizing how important it is to introduce children to a true American hero." -- Robbie Kaplan, lawyer "The power of one person to help many by fighting an unfair system is the theme of this biography of Edie Windsor, whose fight for fairness ultimately led to the Supreme Court allowing gay marriage. Relatable and inspiring." -- Booklist "Windsor's story is admirably simplified for a picture-book audience, highlighting the love she shared with Thea Spyer and explaining that Windsor stood up against an unfair law after Spyer's death.

Appropriately rainbow-hued illustrations showcase Windsor's determination and her ultimate triumph." -- The Horn Book "The importance of Edie's story is conveyed effectively. A solid picture-book biography of an unforgettable hero for queer rights activism." -- Kirkus Reviews "A solid biography and an important addition to law and LGBTQIA+ collections." -- School Library Journal Pedro and Daniel Intersectionality Book Awards Commended Title 2026 - Read Your World Rainbow Book List 2026 - American Library Association (ALA).
