SuitabookThe Pronoun Book
Cassandra Jules Corrigan
- Reading
- Read it alongside the child rather than treating it as a reference to absorb alone.
- Themes
- Pronouns and respectful interaction: Ellie and Casey explain pronouns and illustrate asking for them and responding after accidentally using the wrong ones. The book presents respectful pronoun use as a practical social skill and distinguishes pronouns from gender identity.
- Gender identity and sex traits: The guide moves from basic pronoun explanations to gender identity, sex traits and several identities under the non-binary umbrella. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- Pause over the distinction between gender identity and pronouns, and note that the book’s explanation of intersex people has been judged less well integrated and less sensitive than its treatment of other topics.
