"A research-based exploration of queer behavior in different animal species is interspersed with personal anecdotes and interviews with scientists"-- - Baker & Taylor
Drawing on science, history, anthropology and sociology, this fascinating book explores same-sex sexual behavior in the animal world, putting to rest claims about the âunnaturalnessâ of queer behavior and showing that it is as natural as it is in our own species. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - HARPERCOLL
NPR's "All Things Considered," calls Queer Ducks "teenager-friendly. It's a Printz Honor young adult book filled with comics and humor and accessible science, and it's filled with research on the diversity of sexual behavior in the animal world."
This groundbreaking illustrated YA nonfiction title from two-time National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author Eliot Schrefer is a well-researched and teen-friendly exploration of the gamut of queer behaviors observed in animals.
A quiet revolution has been underway in recent years, with study after study revealing substantial same-sex sexual behavior in animals. Join celebrated author Eliot Schrefer on an exploration of queer behavior in the animal worldâfrom albatrosses to bonobos to clownfish to doodlebugs.
In sharp and witty proseâaided by humorous comics from artist Jules ZuckerbergâSchrefer uses science, history, anthropology, and sociology to illustrate the diversity of sexual behavior in the animal world. Interviews with researchers in the field offer additional insights for readers and aspiring scientists.
Queer behavior in animals is as diverse and complexâand as naturalâas it is in our own species. It doesnât set us apart from animalsâit bonds us even closer to our animal selves.
