What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A Stonewall Book Award Honor Book “The warmth of everyday gender euphoria is burnished to brilliant radiance” (BCCB, starred review) in this joyous picture book about a day in the life of a non-binary child. A child gets ready for a wonderful day. They gleefully get dressed, hug their parents, go to school, and play with friends. All the while, unapologetically reminding themselves that they are and can only be themselves. The non-binary experience is brightly illustrated as we follow our main character through their typical day. The story’s bouncy and fun refrain reminds all readers of gender neutral pronouns and affirms the identities of non-binary children–encouraging readers to practice empathy for themselves and others.
