A glance at what it means to be outside of the gender binary. What does being non-binary mean? For some people, the question and its answer may be new or a little confusing. It’s okay to not know what it means!
That’s where all good conversations start. The journey to understanding starts with an open mind and an open heart.
The book is mainly about Hunter’s story and their journey, but it also lets the reader know that sometimes people are outside the rules of male and female, or pink and blue. And being able to express yourself is great and they deserve to be celebrated.
There is an intro and an outro for the grownups about what the book is for and where they can go from here if they need to. It’s a great, very simple explanation that doesn’t overload the reader with information, simply introduces the idea to the reader that there are a range of people in the world.
It lets readers know there’s freedom in not fitting into the box other people tell you you should fit into. Having the words to describe yourself is great but it’s ok if you can’t find your words yet either.
With a little bit of history thrown in to remind you that there have always been non-binary people, and a quick break down of current society expectations, it remains Hunter’s story and an easy, child friendly way to introduce the term non binary and why a person might use it.
