Staff Pick
From the perspective of an agender person, this is a book I wish was available when I was growing up. The story is very simple, yet colorful and self-explanatory. It's probably a good book to read to any age group of elementary school students, especially when they're reaching that age where they start to question the world around them and have queries that don't necessarily have an easy answer. In summation, it's okay to be this, that, or neither. I highly recommend this book. Recommended By Rin S., Powells.com

Synopsis
In this colorful and touching story that celebrates what makes each of us unique, a little creature that's not quite a bird and not quite a bunny--it's "neither"--searches for a place to fit in. In the Land of This and That, there are only two kinds: blue bunnies and yellow birds. But one day a funny green egg hatches, and a little creature that's not quite a bird and not quite a bunny pops out. It's neither
Neither tries hard to fit in, but its bird legs aren't good for jumping like the other bunnies, and its fluffy tail isn't good for flapping like the other birds. It sets out to find a new home and discovers a very different place, one with endless colors and shapes and creatures of all kinds. But when a blue bunny and a yellow bird with some hidden differences of their own arrive, it's up to Neither to decide if they are welcome in the Land of All.
This colorful, simple, and touching story promotes diversity and offers a valuable lesson to the youngest of audiences: it is our differences that unite us.
