“The informative book, which fills a definite need as gender has become increasingly controversial, contains a generous collection of informative back matter, it includes a glossary, letters from a family and a trans woman, sources and resources, and more. If the book has a message, it’s articulated by a young boy who says, “Everyone should feel safe to be who they are.”- Booklist (starred review)
“Agna and Rotner’s text, presented against brightly colored backgrounds, encourages - “People might think your body is a clue to who you are. It is what you think that matters!' - while Rotner’s photographs capture exuberant self-expression, creating a crucial window and mirror for gender-expansive kids and their loved ones.” - Publishers Weekly
Look at all these beautiful faces! These children are positively glowing and I firmly believe that’s because each one of them feels free to be their unique and authentic selves. What a wonderful, joyous, affirming, celebratory book - I absolutely love it! - Lesléa Newman, author of Heather Has Two Mommies and Sparkle Boy
