If you have kids who love Steven Universe, they'll already know what fusion is. This book builds on the "fusion as metaphor for relationships" work that the show's already done, giving simple and thoughtful reflections in the importance of consent, boundaries, and common ground.

I am not a kid, and I don't have one, so I finished this (beautifully illustrated) book in under three minutes. That could have been disappointing, but far from it - I was tearful by the end. We can all stand to remind ourselves of the basics, after all.

A beautiful book, starring some of our favorite crystal gems. Garnet teaches us all about fusion, and about relationships good and bad.

Ahh Malachite is in this! I understand why, because bad relationships should be covered too but ahhh.

This guide to fusion (a concept from the Steven Universe cartoon) is actually a metaphor about healthy relationships. It prioritizes choice, consent, and respect in a simple and digestible manner. The artwork is beautiful as well. A fantastic companion to the TV show, which also excellently explores this topic!
