My Gender, My Rules

A primer on all things gender, this affirming picture book offers understanding and education for readers of all ages. The book covers gender identities, pronouns, and different ways of expressing gender, from haircuts to footwear, while clarifying that one’s interests, hobbies, and other forms of expression do not define one’s gender. Throughout, the language centers how a child feels rather than their physical appearance, as with “I feel confident when I dress up,” creating a welcoming environment for children to learn and explore.
