anakuroma 's review for:
My Own Way: Celebrating Gender Freedom for Kids
by Joana Estrela, Jay Hulme
*Special thanks to NetGallery and Wide Eyed Editions for the eARC of this book*
This little book is the perfect introduction for little ones about the wonderful adventure that is exploring their gender. First, they do not need to conform who the box they've been put in. Second, they get to explore what makes them happy. That's it. That's the whole message, and it's wonderful.
If I had been read this as a child, been given that permission to explore my gender and what makes me happy, I can only imagine how much happier and free I would have been. Children deserve to be themselves, not just free to like the toys or games that make them happy, being adventurous or into reading, etc, but able to be themselves in regards to their gender and exploration of that expression.
The illustrations and colours are so fun and colourful, and the simples shapes and easy prose make it a great book for all ages.
