- Description
Lily, the third book in Kat Simmers and Ryan Danny Owen’s Pass Me By trilogy, follows 17-year-old Lily, a trans teenager, as she reconnects with her estranged grandfather, who’s adjusting to his own experiences with dementia. Through their bumpy reconnection and insight into their pasts, we explore themes of self-discovery, intergenerational relationships, and how memory assists in building identity. While portraying a detailed rural and queer existence, it also explores self-acceptance and discovery. Educators can use this work to prompt discussions about family structures, mental illness, and identity. Learners can discuss the complexity of gender identity, the impacts of dementia, and societal acceptability. Creative activities, like writing reflective essays or recasting the book in different voices of various characters, may encourage students to engage on a personal level.
