Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Our identities can't be defined by two words alone--even less by the two little words, "boy" and "girl." This colorful picture book explores this idea through a simple introduction to gender identity and the non-binary. Boy or girl?
Hair straight or curled?
Pink or blue?
It's up to you.
With vibrant illustrations and concise, poetic text, this moving book teaches young children that there are no limits in what you can do and who you can be. Wear what you want and style your hair how you want. You are unique
Translated from the original Portuguese by award-winning transgender poet Jay Hulme, My Own Way is an important, timely, and beautiful celebration of identity, difference, and respect.
