Before you were born, we all wanted to know who you would be and how you would grow. 'Nursery in pink? Or nursery in blue?' Everyone always asked about you. Journey through all the colours of the rainbow as new parents introduce their baby to the endless colourful possibilities of each day. A rainbow of choices, colourful and bright. What feels best to you? Which colours are right? A joyous, rhyming picture book about a child's journey of gender expression and the unconditional love between parent and child, Who You Will Be invites readers to celebrate self-expression and find which colours feel right to them. Perfect for fans of Pink Is for Boys and Julian Is a Mermaid.

Reviews
"A family welcomes their child into the world. As this gently rhyming story begins, expecting parents prepare for the arrival of their baby. When the tan-skinned baby is born, the doting parents dress the child in a wide range of colors and outfits, from hair bows to frog-covered green jammies. Readers may find their assumptions about the baby's gender shifting through illustrator Chomiak's joyous cartoon art, which depicts the family's everyday moments of connection and play. Rouanzion concludes by inviting readers to consider a "rainbow of choices, colorful and bright. / What feels best to you? / Which colors are right?"-a powerful message that children and adults alike can benefit from. Models easy, loving acceptance for kids, no matter their gender expression."
