It Feels Good to be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity
Summary
It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity, written by Theresa Thorn and illustrated by Noah Grigni, is a children's book that explores the concept of gender identity. The book aims to help children understand that gender is not just about being a boy or a girl, but that everyone has their own unique gender identity that may not fit into binary categories.
The book follows a group of children of different ages and backgrounds as they share their experiences and perspectives on gender identity. They discuss gender expression, different pronouns, and the importance of respecting and accepting others for who they are. The book also provides a guide for parents and caregivers to support their children in exploring their gender identity.
The book is published by Henry Holt and Co., an imprint of Macmillan Publishers, and is recommended for readers aged 4-8 years.
