What this book is about
- This isn’t a picture book – it’s a detailed guide that kids can read chapter by chapter as they grow and learn.
- It covers core topics like puberty, gender identity, sexual orientation, bodies, consent, relationships, and even tricky stuff like sexting and porn.
- The book is intentionally inclusive, using affirming language and examples that include trans, non-binary, queer, and disabled individuals.
- Illustrations show diverse skin colours, body types, and abilities – including people in wheelchairs and trans men giving birth.
- It helps children understand that gender and attraction don’t fit into neat boxes – and that that’s completely okay.
- A great book to support families with LGBTQIA+ children, or simply for raising kids who are open, respectful, and informed.
- Also touches on different family types, love, attraction, and media literacy – equipping kids for the world they’re growing up in.
- It’s written in a straightforward, age-appropriate way that empowers children with facts, not fear.
- The only downside is the price – it’s a bit expensive for a children’s book, but worth it if you want a truly inclusive resource.
