A clear explanation of what gender is, and how to explore your own.

This is a kids book about gender. This book isn't meant to answer all the questions or tell you how you identify. It's meant to help kids and grownups understand gender and create an open and safe environment for kids to question, experiment, and discover their authentic selves.

This book helps to start discussions about gender with kids aged 5-9 and form understandings about identity. Gender can be difficult to define, but it's something that's a part of all of us and who we are.

A Kids Book About Gender features:

- A large and bold, yet minimalist font design that allows kids freedom to imagine themselves in the words on the pages.
- A friendly, approachable, yet empowering, kid-appropriate tone throughout.
- An incredible and diverse group of authors in the series who are experts or have first-hand experience of the topic.
