Maia Kobabe: Gender Queer Reading & Signing

Books with Pictures 1401 SE Division Street, Portland, OR, United States

Come meet Maia and join us for a short reading, then signing, snacks, and hangouts. It's gonna be great! In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write.
