Reviews
“For educators seeking resources on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) history, When You Look Out the Window is more than a heartwarming story—it’s an effective teaching tool.”–AFT (American Federation of Teachers)
” . . . a great conversation starter and a rare non-fiction book about LGBTQ equality for the younger age group.” –Mombian
“In a book that’s less biography than portrait of change, Pitman (This Day in June) imagines LGBTQ activists Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin looking out their window at the city of San Francisco.” –PW
