Ari's Uncle Lior uses they/them pronouns and when visiting, always asks Ari "what are your words?" On this particular visit, Ari doesn't know what words fit, not he/him, not she/her and not ey/eir but definitely "impatient, excited and colorful" are words that fit. Ari finally feels that they/them pronouns are what they feel today. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ari experiences a lot of anxiety about choosing pronouns in this book. It actually made me feel a bit anxious myself, like stop pressuring this kid to pick a label! But no one is actively pressuring Ari. The pressure is coming from inside Ari. "It shouldn't take this long to find my words. Everyone else seems to know theirs!"
The emphasis is on how labels, adjectives, and pronouns feel to you. Do they feel like they fit? He, him, she, her, ey, and eir don't feel right for Ari on the day this story takes place. In the end, with much excitement, Ari declares that they/them feels "warm and snug" and perfect. ( )
