I'd seen the Pocket Change Collective books before but never really picked one up until now. Continuum was as it says on the tin, very short but also just an awesome introduction or small look into Chella's life. I loved hearing about his experiences and all of the intersections of his identity. I'm eager to look more into his art and other work! Also, they were right, can confirm it does fit into a pocket (at least a jacket pocket). ps. The views expressed in this review are my own and do not...

In Continuum, Chella Man talks about his journey to figure out who he is as a Trans , Queer, Deaf and biracial person. This is a short read but super important. I listened to the audiobook narrated by the author himself. I really loved hearing everything about his life. Thank you PRHA for the complementary audiobook.

Thank you to Peguin Teen for an eARC of this in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.No I definitely didn't finish this book with tears in my eyes and my heart in my throat. Okay maybe I did...I discovered Chella Man when I was researching contemporary queer icons and since I've found him, it's changed my life. Their TED talk was the first time I ever heard the word "genderqueer" and it sat in my brain niggling something I didn't know how to articulate until earlier this year.

I really appreciate the whole pocket change collective series, and this is easily one of my favorites. A must read for so many reasons.

I have seen the Pocket Change collective pop up on social media from time to time and I always think, this is such an incredible idea. Short stories about a person’s life to bring awareness. Each book is different, because each one is about a different path, life, and/or person. Continuum is about Chella, an artist, activist, and actor. But his identity doesn’t begin or end with any of those things. It also isn’t because he is deaf, transgender, genderqueer, Jewish, or Chinese. It is an amalgama...

Loved everything about this book, from the topic to the art included. This is the book about intersectional identity I want every single human to read. I think this is my favorite Pocket Change Collective book so far.

This was a super short but well written little book about Chella’s journey to figure out who he is as a queer, trans, Deaf, biracial and Jewish person. I really appreciated this little book and hearing Chella’s perspective. Also side note I loved hearing about Chella’s mom! I have no complaints.

“Healing too, lies on a continuum.”Short but oh so sweet. Full of wonderful insights. A narrative that we need to see more of. As an interpreter, I will be making sure all my peers read this as well.

Quick read, honest summary of queer self discovery, finding community, importance of representation. Loved that the author's family was supportive and reflective!

I have been following Chella on Instagram . Such an amazingly talented person!

It surely was a pleasuring reading. Learning from someone else's experience is, to me, what means to be human. Chella took us on a small trip about life, self-discovery and acceptance. Everyone should take this book, read it and learn from it.

So grateful for Chella and his vulnerability!I love that Chella and MaryV made art out of their story. I have been following Chella on Instagram for about a year now, and their love is so grounded and so honest. It was beautiful and sobering to listen to this audiobook. Highly recommend.

*thank you to penguinteen for a copy of this ARC*5⭐️"Continuum" is such a wonderful Own Voices story that I binged in under an hour. As a cis-woman and also someone of mixed race, reading Chella's story gave me insight into a world that I've never even considered existing. To be genderqueer, biracial, and Deaf in America is not easy, and Chella explained both the difficult and beautiful parts of his life so perfectly, it felt like I was experiencing alongside him. My favorite quote has to be "Th...

Tiny book (I almost missed it among the new LGBTQ+ books in the library), with a personal essay about being genderqueer, Chinese, Jewish and Deaf. It can be read very rapidly. Would've happily read three times this much with more detail about everything. I hope Chella Man will go on to write a lot more!______Source of the book: Lawrence Public Library

I've read quite a few of the Pocket Change Collective books and have been really impressed with them overall! This was no exception. Chella Man offers plenty of thoughtful insight and perspective. I appreciated the discussion of identity from the perspective of an author with many intersectional identities. Thank you Penguin Teen for providing an advanced e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Short but powerful! As a deafqueer person, I loved reading about another deafqueer experience.

If I had been born during any other era, my story would be different. The world would not be ready to understand with open hearts and minds. To this day, many still choose not to. But whether they choose ignorance or empathy is up to them. My story will still be here; it will never be erased. A huge HUGE thanks to my friend Amanda for not only telling me about this new Pocket Change Collective book, but for also letting me borrow her copy!This was absolutely amazing and it touched on a couple

This made me cry on public transport.Do with this what you like, but I can tell you that I feel deeply inspired and empowered by Chella and his story. And while our circumstances differ, I still feel incredibly seen. This little book is not supposed to present you with a solution or instructions on how to embrace yourself, but it documents one Deaf, Jewish, Chinese, transgender, genderqueer’s journey and makes Chella’s perspective more transparent and friends, I felt it was incredibly hopeful an...

About representation, finding your community, and not apologizing for yourself. Not my favorite from this collection.

3.5 stars if I could I wanted so badly to fully enjoy this book as a long-time follower of Chella Man, yet I was never able to immerse fully. I understand the Pocket Change Collective series purpose is to serve as a small but mighty force, yet I feel as though for this story to be thoroughly told, it should not have been released as a short story. When I found myself getting entranced in the topic at hand, immediately the conclusion or resolution was presented, and the next topic was being showc...
