Praise for this book
"I'm always on the lookout for kids books that challenge gender stereotypes and empower kids to embrace their true selves, and this book does so beautifully. . . . Through playful rhyming text the author shines a light on diversity, being true to yourself, respecting others, and understanding that there are many experiences across the gender spectrum. . . .The illustrations in this book burst with joyful colour, radiantly showing young readers the many ways in which we can be our true selves. This heartwarming follow-up to the hugely popular My Shadow is Pink is sure to win hearts everywhere." --Aussie Kids Books
"Best-selling children's book creator, Scott Stuart, follows his internationally acclaimed title, My Shadow is Pink, with another heart-warming story about being true to yourself, just as you are. . . . With plenty of opportunities for conversation starters, the theme of gender as non-binary has been artfully distilled into an accessible read for young children and families." --Australian Arts Review
"Scott Stuart's beautiful book is warm, considered, honest and reflective." --Bookwagon "Affirming." --Foreword Reviews, starred review of My Shadow Is Pink"Stuart isn't just making up stories here--he's living the support he writes about. [His] take on the theme stands out for its focus on the relationship between the child and his dad and on societal ideas about masculinity." --Mombian, an LGBTQ parenting blog on My Shadow Is Pink
