“With their book, “Sonny!”, writer Thom Fogarty and Illustrator Ted Dawson have together created both a loving tribute to the life of their late friend Lee Guilliatt as well as a fantastical-but-true story of wacky circumstances bringing people together. In our current tumultuous moment, where LGBTQ+ young people are being demonized by leaders trying to score reactionary political points, “Sonny” is a welcome relief that promotes empathy and diversity while staying fun, upbeat and accessible to all readers.”
