SuitabookIt Feels Good to Be Yourself
Theresa Thorn, Noah Grigni
- Reading
- Read it together at an unhurried pace. Let the child lead with questions, and use the book’s terms as a starting point rather than expecting them to settle every question in one sitting.
- Themes
- Gender identity and self-expression: The book introduces gender identity and includes people who are boys, girls, both, neither or somewhere in between. Its framing emphasises curiosity, joy and positive self-expression, treating varied identities as part of the picture it presents.
- Worth knowing
- Gender identity is the explicit subject, including identities beyond being simply a boy or a girl. If this is a new topic in your household, you may want to read together and pause over unfamiliar words.
