Description
Alice Austen Lived Here tells the story of Sam, a nonbinary teenager who discovers their own queer identity and finds inspiration in the life of photographer Alice Austen. When Sam's home borough opens up a contest for a new statue, they see an opportunity to showcase Austen's history and create a more inclusive narrative.
As Sam delves deeper into Austen's story, they learn about the importance of representation and the need to challenge traditional histories. With the help of their best friend TJ, Sam works to create a project that celebrates queer identity and challenges the status quo.
This powerful story is a call to action for young readers to think critically about the history they are taught and to consider what it means to be included in the stories that shape our understanding of ourselves and others.
