"An exploration of gender for the youngest of readers. A thoughtful and accessible introduction." Kirkus Reviews

There are eight BILLION people living on Earth. That's eight billion unique laughs, smiles, ways to dress, think, act, and play. Gender is one way people express themselves. Some folks feel they are girls, some boys, some both, and some neither. Gender is different for everyone, and there's no wrong way to express it.

This book, published in partnership with GLAAD, is a helpful and empowering way to have a first conversation with children about gender and how they feel about themselves. Filled with expert definitions and information about the world around us, this essential book reminds every reader that when it comes to gender, they make the rules for themselves.
