Bookroo's summary

In a world where shadows are blue or pink, one child's shadow is both and neither. This heartwarming tale explores the journey of embracing a unique identity beyond the gender binary. As the child navigates a world of limited choices, they discover the beauty of being true to oneself. Will they find acceptance and understanding in a world that sees only in twos? This vibrant story invites readers to celebrate diversity and the spectrum of identity.

From the publisher

My Dad has a shadow that’s blue as a berry, and my Mom’s is as pink as a blossoming cherry. There’s only those choices, a 2 or a 1. But mine is quite different, it’s both and it’s none. A heartwarming and inspiring book about being true to yourself and moving beyond the gender binary, by best-selling children’s book creator Scott Stuart.
