This looks like it’s a picture book but it’s much more than that. This is a children’s dictionary on pronouns, and how people identify. The part geared toward children is easy to understand as well as interesting and informative. In the back, there is useful information for both kids and adults such as other books to read, a list of different pronouns that go beyond the he/she. It’s also gives a glossary of terms mentioned in the story, and terms not mentioned in the story that kids may hear. My favorite thing in the book is sample letters in the back for the teacher, or for other parents, making it easy to help explain your child’s pronouns. This is a well done and important book for any collection.… (más)

This brilliantly colored little book explores the attitudes and names for many nonbinary people in a variety of cultures across the world. Some local attitudes are somewhat negative, but more are viewed as positive or even necessary. All are viewed as natural. I learned a lot!
Let us all learn together to be more tolerant as we learn what some of the gender designations mean.
The illustrations by Moe Butterfly are delightful, imaginative, striking, and colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a public library!

What a wonderful book! For anyone who is mildly baffled by all of the gender TERMS that are talked about today, this book gives a clearer understanding of what the terms mean in understanding PEOPLE. As a nurse who has assisted the delivery of babies who present as both recognized genders at the same time and worked with people who are confused about their own gender, I heartily applaud the compassion that is at the core of this book. I can also relate to the presentation regarding people whose behavior and attitudes are outside the norm of their culture. Let us all learn together to be more tolerant as we learn what some of the gender designations mean.
